pentagon: no connection between saddam and al qaeda, but we won't tell you unless you ask

the pentagon has released a report which concludes that there was absolutely no conneciton between saddam hussein and al qaeda. oh, wait, no they haven't:

the pentagon on wednesday canceled plans for broad public release of a study that found no pre-iraq war link between late iraqi president saddam hussein and the al qaida terrorist network.

rather than posting the report online and making officials available to discuss it, as had been planned, the u.s. joint forces command said it would mail copies of the document to reporters — if they asked for it. the report won't be posted on the internet.

the reversal highlighted the politically sensitive nature of its conclusions, which were first reported monday by mcclatchy...

navy capt. dennis moynihan, a spokesman for the norfolk, va.-based joint forces command, said, "we're making the report available to anyone who wishes to have it, and we'll send it out via cd in the mail."

sure, the cd's in the mail. we've heard that before.
