WASHINGTON, June 20 (UPI) -- The commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks has received new information indicating that a senior officer in an elite unit of the security services of deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein may have been a member of al-Qaida involved in the planning of the suicide hijackings, panel members said Sunday.

John F. Lehman, a Reagan-era GOP defense official told NBC's "Meet the Press" that documents captured in Iraq "indicate that there is at least one officer of Saddam's Fedayeen, a lieutenant colonel, who was a very prominent member of al Qaida."

Well, well. What have we here?? Let's let the libs chew on this one awhile.

Sadly enough Shakir, if that's who you're talking about, is not really new news.

Stephen Hayes has written about him for months at the Weekly Standard and there is a lengthy discussion of him in his book, The Connection. Given the politics of the 9.11 commission it may be good news that the "Fieth Memo" and Hayes' reporting may finally be getting some traction.

The book is a great read if you're interested in Al Qaeda - Iraq connections. You'd never get a conviction in an American court but to me what Hayes has to say is "extremely credible" and would probably be proof in an Iraqi court

I have been following this for about a month.

The good news part of it is that it has now come to the commission's attention, and will now get some play in the mainstream media.
