Iraq/Taliban Connections Detailed In New Documents

More interesting intelligence from those Iraq documents released back in March.
Fox News’ Ray Robinson:

What was the relationship between Saddam Hussein’s inner circle and Islamic terrorists? A newly released document appears to provide evidence that in 1999 the Taliban welcomed “Islamic relations with Iraq” to mediate among the Taliban, the Northern Alliance and Russia, and that the Taliban invited Iraqi officials to Afghanistan.
The document, captured in Iraq but never before seen by the public, offers glimmers of new insight at the Pentagon’s Foreign Military Studies Office Web site. The FMSO is a research and analysis center under the U.S. Army’s Training and Doctrine Command.
This particular document mentions two men with similar names, each with ties to Pakistani religious schools known as madrassas, Jihad training camps, the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
This original translation by my translator-colleague, who goes by the nom de guerre of “Sammi,” comes from a notebook kept by an Iraqi intelligence agent. It provides evidence of a cooperative, operational relationship agreed to at the highest levels of the Iraqi government and the Taliban.

Just more evidence in support of toppling Saddam Hussein’s regime, if you needed it.
As for me, I’ve been convinced that Saddam Hussein funded/supported/aided terror groups intent on attacking Israe/the west for a couple of years now. We know for a fact that Saddam was aiding suicide bombers in Israel, and his hate of America (the “Great Satan” of the west”) was obvious. So why wouldn’t he support terrorist groups with western targets?
What Fox News is doing here is interesting. Ray Robinson is a specialist the network has hired for the express purpose of translating and analyzing the hundreds of thousands of pages of documents left over from Saddam Hussein’s regime. Iraq has been the biggest American political issue of the last three years, yet no other media outlet is paying this kind of attention to these documents, which may well hold the key to defining the mission in Iraq and what it will mean in history.
