You've also made the claim that it was a terrorist base under Saddam.
You will have a hard time finding evidence for sponsorship of any
terrorism beyond anti-Israeli causes.

What would I consider acceptable evidence? Hmm. An official government
report. An official CIA report. A military intelligence report. A
report by an outside country; e.g. Interpol, the UN, etc. An article
describing specifics from a major news outlet. An online article
describing the evidence, from a site that is not a blog. Probably many
others.

What I wouldn't consider to be acceptable evidence are unsubstantiated
or vague statements from administration officials.


Well, the US Navy Web site that I quoted in my earlier post clearly
says that Iraq supported and hosted Abu Nidal until 2002 (i.e. after
Sept 11). Also, that website makes clear that while the group may be
ethnically Palestinian there targets extended to 20 countries many of
who are not even supporters of Israel. US interests appear to have
been the object of many of his attacks.

Now of course in your own twisted anti-Semitic views, it would be hard
to say that there is never an Israeli connection since we have already
established that:
A. The vast majority of modern day terrorist acts
(i.e. acts deliberately targeting civilians for death without
any legitimate defensive or military purpose) are
committed by extremist Muslims
B. Most extremist Muslims hate Israel
So of course any connection of terrorism to Iraq will always have at
least some collateral anti-Israel venom.
