Putin Vindicated on Iraq Terrorism?

Dan Darling at The Weekly Standard reports that, according to newly released documents, Vladamir Putin's statements in the summer of 2004 appear to be true. In an under-reported story, Putin stated,

I can confirm that after the events of September 11, 2001, and up to the military operation in Iraq, Russian special services and Russian intelligence several times received . . . information that official organs of Saddam's regime were preparing terrorist acts on the territory of the United States and beyond its borders, at U.S. military and civilian locations.

A newly released Iraqi document says the following:

The top secret letter 2205 of the Military Branch of Al Qadisya on 4/3/2001 announced by the top secret letter 246 from the Command of the military sector of Zi Kar on 8/3/2001 announced to us by the top secret letter 154 from the Command of Ali Military Division on 10/3/2001 we ask to provide that Division with the names of those who desire to volunteer for Suicide Mission to liberate Palestine and to strike American Interests [emphasis added] and according what is shown below to please review and inform us.

Document or no document, this can't possibly be true - the MSM and Democrats have told us that Iraq didn't engage in terrorism...
