A post that is out of order

My initial intention was to post things in order so that this blog would read like a book. However, given a recent discussion over at Cosmic Wheel, I have decided to post a few things out of order. The next series of posts will adress the pre-war allegation that Iraq was training non-Iraqis to be be terrorists. The focal point of that allegation was a training camp known as Salman Pak. There were plenty of stories about Salman Pak, but, as will be shown, although Salman Pak was used as a training camp, the claims that it was used to train foreign terrorists are dubious at best. Moreover, the saga of Salman Pak is a prime example of the lies and deceit perpetrated by the Iraqi National Congress, the group led by Ahmed chalabi that supplied the vast majority of "intelligence" which the Bush administration used as a basis for the Iraq war.
