I perfectly well know that I shouldn't try to correct every piece of
misinformation that comes over the transom on HP3000-L, but Iraq had as much to do
with the attack on the World Trade Center has Belgium did with the attack on
Pearl Harbor.

The fact that you repeat this bit of nonsense suggests that you have
apparently far too readily accepted the "lies and garbage"* that this administration
has steadily implied during the runup to the current war. When Dick Cheney
attempted to imply this connection again a few weeks ago on a Sunday morning talk
show, Bush was compelled to finally resolutely say the next day that there was
no link between the WTC incident and Saddam's Iraq, but I'm not sure that it
mattered all that much now, being said so late.

has to say in unfortunately unprintable.
