CBS News | Plans For Iraq Attack Began On 9/11 Here is an excerpt: "CBS News has learned that barely five hours after American Airlines Flight 77 plowed into the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was telling his aides to come up with plans for striking Iraq — even though there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the attacks." This story is dated september 4. Where is the rest of the media on this? Meanwhile Al Gore's beard is still an issue. Pathetic.
