The silence is deafening

I've been doing some research on the memo that Iyad Allawi revealed to the London Telegraph last December. (This is the memo that reveals that Mohammed Atta was trained in Bahdgad by Abu Nidal and was in Bahdgad just two months before the 9/11 disaster.)

According to a Lexis/Nexis search, the following media outlets have carried the story:

Sadaam was captured on the 14th of December. Coughlin's article in the London Telegraph was published on the same day. In the glut of news about Sadaam's capture, the equally compelling story of a direct ties between Sadaam and 9/11 never made it to any major news media - not ABC, NBC, Fox, CNN, CBS, AP, UPI, Reuters, BBC, no one carried the story.

Isn't it time that the truth came out? Isn't it time that the connection between Sadaam and 9/11 (which the Bush administration has never made) became part of "all the news that's fit to print"? Isn't it time that the major media quit lying about the connection between Sadaam and al Qaeda? Sadaam and 9/11?
