Also suggest to read Stephen Hayes book "The Connection" which provides raft-loads of evidence about the on-going relationship between Saddam and al-Qaeda, and OBL. Good work.

Salman Pak was, in the words of the Senate Intelligence Committee, "an unconventional warfare training facility used by the IIS and Saddam Hussein's Fedayeen troops to train its officers for counterterrorism operations against regime opponents." Of the three defectors who reportedly claimed otherwise: one has since been exposed as a fraud; a second was found to have "exaggerated" and "embellished" his story; and the third reversed himself, when questioned by CIA, claiming it wasn't a terrorist camp at all, but rather a Fedayeen camp.

Vincent Brooks and W. Thomas Smith, both of whom have some first and/or second hand experience with Salman Pak would take issue with you saying no terrorist training took place there. There accounts are worth looking into, just as the accounts of the very valid accounts that counter terrorism training also took place there. SMBD,

Saddam Hussein was impressed by the expert manner in which British Special Forces dispatched Iranian terrorists in London. He immediately called for an elite fighting force of his own - one that specialised in blowing down doors and storming through skylights. This was to include sharpshooting and explosive training. A camp was loosely constructed for this purpose. Iraq released promotional videos from Salman Pak throughout the 1990s. Raw propaganda. Fedayeen in their customary black outfits rapidly descending vertical walls, canines being torn apart, etc. INC are familiar (and still retain) many of these tapes. Indeed, the devil is in the detail. Accounts dovetail nicely with what is depicted in the tapes. Richard Miniter already knows this, yet he persists.

What was he doing then, helping the "resistance"? Defiance does seem to be an appropriate word. The reluctance to embrace reality by some when it comes to this issue borders on the pathological. Great post, Richard. Looking forward to more from your trip. JohnJay,
