Putin's in on the Fix

According to the NYT via Reuters, ex-KGB guy and Russian President Vladimir Putin has weighed in on the side of the White House. Sort of.

[snip]..."After the events of September 11, 2001, and before the start of the military operation in Iraq, Russian special services several times received information that the official services of the Saddam regime were preparing 'terrorist acts' on the United States and beyond its borders," he told reporters.

"This information was passed on to our American colleagues," he said. He added, however, that Russian intelligence had no proof that Saddam's agents had been involved in any particular attack..[snip]

If this was indeed the case, why hasn't this been brought up until now?

Putin, Cheney and Bush have only had what..A YEAR to allege such things?!?!

I'll bin this one until further evidence can be constructed produced.

When Putin, ex-KGB and subsequent head of Russia's Federal Security Service and secretary of the presidential Security Council, the successors to the KGB, says something with no chance of negative political fallout, I'm a bit skeptical. It's in my nature not to trust spooks.

Who will be the next to roll over for the Bush White House?
