I have long been suspicious of Iraq’s possible role in 9/11, but for lack of supporting facts, have been resigned to presume the regime innocent. The evidence for an Iraqi role is patchy, but the stink is strong. Regardless of whether Iraq had any role, the current war is justified for reasons independent of the 9/11 attacks, I’ve argued. (*)

The quickly closing door on the Saddam regime now allows US investigators to go to specific places in Iraq and look for evidence that may or may not conclusively determine the issue. In an interesting article on the subject in National Review, Deroy Murdock reviews that patchy evidence. (†) Furthermore, Edward Jay Epstein (‡) and Daniel Benjamin have a debate on the subject going on in Slate. (§)
