Proof of a Deeper Relationship Between Saddam and Osama?

Apparently, the treasure-trove of documents captured during the Iraq invasion is full of useful information. Of course we wouldn't know it based on the lack of urgency with which they're being translated and released.

It wasn't the CIA, but ABC News who translated some of the captured documents to find this gem. Apparently there was a deeper connection between Saddam's regime and al Qaeda.

One of the translated documents "was a handwritten account of a February 19, 1995, meeting between an official representative of Iraq and Mr. bin Laden himself, where Mr. bin Laden broached the idea of 'carrying out joint operations against foreign forces' in Saudi Arabia."

Interesting. Why didn't the White House make these documents a higher priority to translate and release? It should have been done within months of the invasion.

With regards to these new findings, Bob Kerry, former Democratic senator and member of the 9/11 commission said, "I personally and strongly believe you don't have to prove that Iraq was collaborating against Osama bin Laden on the September 11 attacks to prove he was an enemy and that he would collaborate with people who would do our country harm...It does tie him into a circle that meant to damage the United States."

Does this provide the "justification" for the invasion that so many people desire?

Maybe not yet, but I'll bet there's all kinds of juicy stuff in those captured documents that has yet to be revealed.
