But my prior question stands. Why trumpet these links when there are much clearer connections to SA? Why is there not more outrage at the SA govt's links if people like you are spending the energy to argue that Iraq had similar, if less-clear, links? If your answer is that we need their oil, then I am quite disappointed that we could be bought so cheaply.

I hadn't seen the leg stuff before, and I don't claim the evidence yet rised to the level of being "substantial," just more substantial than you suggest. The articles I've posted from NRO are admittedly tenuous, but that is the nature of spook work, or so I'm told. There's also the fact that Czech intelligence still stands by their story of the meeting in Prague, even though the US has discounted that. My guess is that the administration is so shell shocked that it will not come forward with anything until it has a very high level of substantiation
You may say that we shouldn't go to war on such tenuous information, and that is a fair point. If it were the only rationale, I would tend to agree with you. By I tend to look at this stuff more holistically - call it a pnumbra, if you will.
