The mainstream media reporded that the 9-11 commission said there were
no ties between Iraq and al Qaeda.

Just read the report above, and see how you would report it. Based on
the
actual words of the Commission report, I'd say there was some talk and
some
wishful thinking, but no "ties."

Tied to defination of "ties" i guess.

Well, if you're going to call an entire institution "liars," you'd better
have your definition down pat. The Commission said there were no ties. The
quotation omitted that, conveniently.


Which is exactly what they said. No evidence of any cooperative action
between them.

And no evidence they weren't cooperating, so what'd your point?

The point is, lack of evidence they WERE cooperating is another excuse for
invading Iraq shot to hell. No WMDs, no evidence of cooperation with Al
Qaeda. . .what's left, that they didn't like us?

Lack of
evidence doesn't prove the opposite.

It doesn't have to, unless you think that guesswork is enough justification
to invade a country that had not attacked us and that had no visible way to
do so if they tried. How about. . .hmm. . .Greece? They don't like us very
much. Shall we invade?
