BUSH WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE REGARDING IRAQ AND AL QAEDA

One of the many claims the Bush 43 Admin made to try to con us into wanting the Iraq Attack was that Iraq was training terrorists (or at least letting them train in Iraq). Well, apparently, this wasn't the case--for sure. While we generally understand that there was no evidence pointing to Iraq aiding AQ, [http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2005/11/07/document_counters_claims_that_al_qaeda_got_training_in_iraq/|an article] at Boston.com from the Boston Globe reports that there is a document that specifically points to no AQ in Iraq. Here's a clip from linked article:
A government document raises doubts about claims that Al Qaeda members received training for biological and chemical weapons in Iraq, as Senate Democrats yesterday defended their push for a report on how the Bush administration handled prewar intelligence.

...

The document from February 2002 showed that the agency questioned the reliability of Al Qaeda senior military trainer Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi. He could not name any Iraqis involved in the effort or identify any chemical or biological materials or cite where the training took place, the report said.

The agency concluded that al-Libi probably misled the interrogators deliberately, and he recanted the statements in January, according to the document made public by Senator Carl Levin, top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

''In other words, he's an entirely unreliable individual upon whom the White House was placing substantial intelligence trust," said Senator Jay Rockefeller, a member of the Intelligence Committee.


Can we impeach these guys now, pleeeeease????
