  I recalled it from having lived through the last couple of decades but since you insist, I googled for "Iraq Trained Terrorists" and found 2.2million links. Heres one. http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/006/550kmbzd.asp http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/00... Heres another. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/03/25/1017004766310.html http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/03/25/1017004766310.html One more. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/1449442/Terrorist-behind-September-11-strike-was-trained-by-Saddam.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/14... I don't know how partisan these articles or newspapers/publishers are, but you asked for citing. Oh, here's another one, PBS this time. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/gunning/interviews/khodada.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/gunning/interv...

    We've all (most?) lived the last couple of decades, but it seems that not all of us took our blinkers off.

    After Iraq, we should probably go ahead and invade Google, because your methodology shows that they trained about 1,080,000 terrorists.

    It's interesting to read the Editor's Note in the right sidebar of that PBS piece which basically says that the interviewee is a liar.

You did not read he editor's note [Editor's Note, November 2005: More than two years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, there has been no verification of Khodada's account of the activities at Salman Pak. In fact, U.S. officials have now concluded that Salman Pak was most likely used to train Iraqi counter-terrorism units in anti-hijacking techniques. It should also be noted that he and other defectors interviewed for this report were brought to FRONTLINE's attention by the Iraqi National Congress (INC), a dissident organization that was working to overthrow Saddam Hussein. Since the original broadcast, Khodada has not publicly addressed questions that have been raised about his account of activities at Salman Pak.] If you want an overview of the planning/preparation of Sep 11 attacks it is easily available here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_of_the_September_11_attacks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_of_the_September_11_at...
