The Gravitas of Secretary Rice

Iran Focus, Rice to Paris to discuss Iran:

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will meet with French President Jacques Chirac in Paris during a European swing this week focusing on the Iranian nuclear crisis, the State Department said Monday.

She will also meet with Germany's Angela Merkel.

And regarding recent revelations of Russian treachery in sharing intelligence on US military plans with Saddam Hussein's Iraq before the war, Secretary of State Rice said she will "take a hard look at the reports", and will raise it with them this week. This and more on the secrets revealed by the Saddam documents from Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard, who had been pushing for their release for months. Information keeps coming illustrating ties between Saddam and Osama bin Laden:

Another captured document details the plan of the Iraqi Intelligence Service to invigorate its relations with Saudi opposition groups, including one headed by Osama bin Laden. According to that document, which a Pentagon task force determined "appears authentic," bin Laden requested assistance from the Iraqi regime on its anti-Saudi propaganda efforts and with attacks on U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia. The documents indicate that Iraq agreed to rebroadcast al Qaeda propaganda and left open the possibility of working with al Qaeda on attacks.

Secretary Rice also stated on NBC's Meet the Press that she expects "We're going to find some important and surprising things in these documents."

Perhaps the MSM will say there is "nothing new" in the documents, that we need to "move on", but based on what has come out so far they may actually have to acknowledge the truth.

Naah.
