No, Einstein. He's pointing out that a terrorists place of training
does
not
automatically assign guilt to that country. If the world ran according
to
your logic, then the U.S.A. would be guilty of harboring terrorists.
After
all, they *did* learn to fly those planes at flight schools here, not
abroad.

There's a world of difference between sending people to a flight school
as
innocuous individuals under false pretenses, and setting up a
paramilitary
training camp with the express approval and financial support of the
host
country. You do see that, don't you?



Yes. And a meeting between two people in Baghdad doesn't necessarily
constitute a training camp.

Doug,
The Iraqi gov't issued sanctuary to Abu Nidal. He wasn't living there
clandestinely. If he was meeting with al Qaeda, it was with the full
knowledge of Saddam. All of those issues makes that situation a far cry
from two terrorists meeting in New Jersey.
