Connections between GITMO's detainees, Iraqi political leaders and 'AQ' terrorists, why is the MSM ignoring this 'obvious' content, and why is the Bush Administration letting them do so without screaming their heads off in DC?

From the Corner tonight:

The Associated Press recently did a Freedom of Information Act request for documents on the Gitmo detainees justifying their detention. One of the prisoners they got production on is an Iraqi who is an admitted member of al Qaeda, described as a "trusted agent" of bin Laden himself.

Here is what the AP reported about this detainee (all emphasis is mine): "There is no indication the Iraqi's alleged terror-related activities were on behalf of Saddam Hussein's government, OTHER THAN THE BRIEF MENTION OF HIM TRAVELING TO PAKISTAN WITH A MEMBER OF IRAQI INTELLIGENCE."

If that description is not furtive enough, consider what the document in question (part of the summary of evidence against the detainee) actually says: "In August 1998, the detainee traveled to Pakistan with a member of Iraqi Intelligence FOR THE PURPOSE OF BLOWING UP THE PAKISTAN, UNITED STATES AND BRITISH EMBASSIES WITH CHEMICAL MORTARS."
