  CNN.com - Laurie Mylroie: Is Iraq involved with U.S. terror attacks? - October 29, 2001
Laurie Mylroie is the author of "Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein's Unfinished War," which outlines her case that Iraq had a central role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
MYLROIE: You can demonstrate to the high legal standard of beyond a reasonable doubt, which is used for criminal conviction, that Iraq was behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, by showing that Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of that bomb, was an Iraqi intelligence agent.
MYLROIE: I believe that it is necessary to shift the war to Iraq and to do so as soon as possible, because Iraq is a primary threat, the primary terrorist threat to the United States, and as the anthrax shows, that threat can become very, very great.

 Laurie Mylroie - SourceWatch
Mylroie is an adjunct scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank often identified with leading neocons.
Bergen comments, "Mylroie became enamored of her theory that Saddam was the mastermind of a vast anti-U.S. terrorist conspiracy in the face of virtually all evidence and expert opinion to the contrary.
Mylroie believes that there is an internal administration dynamic between handling attacks as individual criminal matters which result in individual prosecutions, and holding investigations which find out what actually happened.

  "Armchair Provocateur" by Peter Bergen
As Mylroie was fighting against the tide of expert opinion to prove her case that Saddam was behind the '93 bombing, her neocon colleagues at AEI and elsewhere were formulating an alternative vision of U.S. foreign policy to challenge what they saw as the feckless and weak policies of the Clinton administration.
Mylroie's research and expertise on Iraq complemented the big-think strategizing of the neocons, and a symbiotic relationship developed between them, as evidenced by the garlands that the neocons bestowed upon her for her work.
Mylroie declined to be interviewed for this article "with regret," so the only chance I have had to talk with her came this past February, when we both appeared on Canadian television to discuss the impending war in Iraq and Saddam's putative connections to terrorism.

 A Lone Wolf on U.S. Intelligence, Iraq Marches On
Mylroie’s basic underlying premise is that state sponsorship of terrorism, now thought to be far less a concern than the so-called “loose networks” of terrorists like Al Qaeda, is still a threat to America, and that Iraq was one of the greatest threats.
Mylroie claims that the identities of such figures as the mastermind of the 1993 attack, Ramzi Yousef, and the 2001 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, are based on documents that pre-date Kuwait’s liberation, and thus may have been tampered with when Iraq invaded and occupied that country.
Mylroie’s scorn in her new book for what she says is a readiness to adjust their view on Iraq to fit the prevailing view of the day.

 CNN.com - Laurie Mylroie offers new look on terror war - Aug. 6, 2003
Mylroie: Well, it's sharply stated, but it is the case that significant elements in both the CIA and State Department opposed going to war with Iraq and sought to undercut that war and then subsequently the rationale for that war.
Mylroie: Khalid Shaikh Mohammed is supposed to be Youssef's maternal uncle, he was involved in the '95 plane plot, became the head of al Qaeda's military committee and the mastermind of 9/11.
Mylroie: It's very common within bureaucracies for people to have very narrow agendas, not to think above their pay grade, to look to their personal and institutional interests, and not to think at the bigger picture and part of that is to avoid embarrassment.

 Laurie Mylroie's crazy ideas about 9/11
Mylroie argues that “substantial evidence did exist to tie Iraq to al Qaeda and to suggest that Iraq was involved in the September 11 attacks.” Substantial evidence — that’s a big claim for a big charge.
Mylroie stands by the disputed charge that Mohammed Atta, the supposed ringleader of the 9/11 hijackers, met an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in April 2001.
Mylroie is still fighting the last battle — in which Pentagon neocons and their allies wrestled with other government officials who questioned their Hussein-is-a-threat rhetoric — even though her side was victorious in that face-off.

 Peter Bergen: How conspiracy theories took the US to war | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
Mylroie believes that Saddam was behind every anti-American terrorist incident of note in the past decade, from the levelling of the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995 to September 11 itself.
Mylroie, in Study of Revenge, claims to have discovered what everyone missed: that the plot's mastermind, a man generally known by one of his many aliases, "Ramzi Yousef", was actually an Iraqi intelligence agent.
Mylroie has also recently taken on the role of defender of Ahmed Chalabi, the head of the Iraqi National Congress, who is accused of providing fraudulent information about Iraq's WMD programme and passing intelligence to Iran.

Laurie Mylroie: Those who believe that the Sept 11 attack required the resources of a state also believe that Iraq is the only state that could possibly have been behind it.

Laurie Mylroie's tireless research and thoughtful analysis offer stunning, convincing new evidence about the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that will forever change the way that Americans view the events of September 11.

 Osama, Saddam, and the Bombs - By David Plotz - Slate Magazine
The key to Mylroie's theory is her contention that Ramzi Yousef is not who the U.S. government says he is. In the World Trade Center trials, prosecutors suggested that Yousef was probably Abdul Basit, a Kuwaiti of Pakistani origin who had been radicalized as a student before coming to America to plan the bombing.
Because, according to Mylroie, Basit's records were tampered with during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, and the Basit family seems to have disappeared during the occupation.
Mylroie and Woolsey are urging the United States to test the theory by checking Ramzi Yousef's fingerprints against fingerprints of Abdul Basit's that may be available in England (where he was a student).

Laurie Mylroie must desperately want the U.S. to attack Iraq, for nothing else will explain the extraordinary lengths she goes on the very slimmest of evidence to blame the first World Trade Center attack on that country.
Mylroie asserts that Clinton's poor management of the issues and circumstances associated with the bombing led to the rise of a great western misconception regarding terrorism (specifically that based in the Middle East).
Mylroie's investigation is first rate, and all the Beltway desk jockies who constantly carp behind the President's back about why US should not have invaded Iraq do not know anything compared to Laurie Mylroie.

 Re: [casi] Laurie Mylroie
Central to her thesis is the claim that Yousef was not the Pakistani citizen he claimed to be, but an Iraqi agent who used the passport which was stolen from its owner during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait.
Mylroie laudably admits, British intelligence concluded that he was in fact the Pakistani citizen whose passport he held.
What is more astonishing however than even Mylroie's willingness to declare Yousef an Iraqi agent with hardly a shard of evidence is her willingness to take this revelation and apply it to numerous terrorist attacks thereafter.

Americans supported the war in Iraq not because Saddam Hussein was an evil dictator--we had known that for many years--but because President Bush had made the case that Saddam might hand off weapons of mass destruction to his terrorist allies to wreak havoc on the United States.
This would change with the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, the first act of international terrorism within the United States, which world launch Mylroie on a quixotic quest to prove that Saddam's regime was the most important source of terrorism directed against this country.
She laid out her case in Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein's Unfinished War Against America, a book published by AEI in 2000 which makes it clear that Mylroie and the neocon hawks worked hand in glove to push her theory that Iraq was behind the '93 Trade Center bombing.

 Conspiracy Planet - Media Whores - Laurie Mylroie Lies:BushGang Says Saddam Did 9/11
Mylroie had been pushing for an all-out war against Iraq for a decade and in the run-up to the first Gulf war, she, along with the since fired New York Times reporter, Judith Miller, wrote a book titled, "Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf."
Mylroie also claims that the TWA flight 800 which crashed into Long Island Sound was an Iraqi plot even after a lengthily investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board determined that it was an accident.
In his findings, the judge next focused on the testimony of Mylroie, and it is apparent that he believed her claims that Saddam was involved in all of the terrorist attacks against the US dating back to the early 1990s.

Consider the testimony of the American Enterprise Institute's Laurie Mylroie, who was considered credible enough to be an expert witness before the 9-11 Commission last week.
At last Wednesday's public hearing, Mylroie, who at one time was a consultant to the Department of Defense, said she thinks the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, a botched plot hatched in the Philippines to blow up a dozen American airliners, and 9-11 all were the work of Iraqi intelligence.
Mylroie's work on Iraq and its connections to the two World Trade Center attacks have been endorsed by Rumsfeldians Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, and former CIA director James Woolsey.

Combining important new research with an insider's grasp of Beltway politics, Mylroie describes how the CIA and the State Department have systematically discredited critical intelligence about Saddam's regime, including indisputable evidence of its possession of weapons of mass destruction.
She reveals how major elements of the case against Iraq -- including information about possible links to al Qaeda and evidence of potential Iraqi involvement in the fall 2001 anthrax attacks -- were prematurely dismissed by these agencies for cynical reasons.
Mylroie traces how the very idea of state-sponsored terrorism was pronounced dead after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, giving states like Iraq an open ing to underwrite terrorism without being detected.

 Is 'Waly Samar' the Mastermind Behind the Anthrax Mailings?
Saddam's war against the U.S. has been carried on using terrorism like the WTC attack in '93 that is wrongly being solely attributed by U.S. intelligence to loose terror networks of Islamic extremists.
What's remarkable is that Laurie Mylroie's book appears to reveal a key piece of information regarding the most recent terrorist actions against the U.S., i.e., the Anthrax mailings of recent weeks, that the FBI may be overlooking (believe me....I've sought to inform them).
A couple of weeks ago, upon buying Laurie's book, God led me to a particular section that I believe reveals the identity (or at least the alias) of the mastermind behind the Anthrax mailings: "Waly Samar"...
