It is not that the Pentagon officially concluded, reluctantly, that Saddam Hussein had no operational relationship with Al Qaeda that is news worthy of Persona Non Grata. Everybody in Washington knows that except for the occupants of the bunker who suspend themselves in a sickening miasma of zealotry, denial and disinformation. What's news is that the Pentagon is suppressing its own report because it does not want the conclusion which contradicts the official line to be given any more attention. The 'Puzzle Palace' has cancelled plans to send out press releases about the study and will not make it available on line. A military spokesman said that initial reports in the press about the study made it too "politically sensitive": Darth must have been on the phone chewing some military brass too 'ricky tic'.
