SOMEBODY TELL AL GORE: The New York Times reports an Iraqi document -- one that it obtained several weeks ago, but that the 9/11 Commission seems somehow to have overlooked -- outlining collaboration between Saddam and Osama back in the 1990s. This is, of course, consistent with these media reports of such contacts from 1999.

UPDATE: Ed Morrissey says that the Times was hypocritical to demand apologies from the White House when it was sitting on evidence that undermined its position:

So the Times has had in its possession a document that details contacts and collaboration which it determined that the government found authentic, and still editorialized about the purported dishonesty of Bush and Cheney? Obviously, someone's being dishonest, but more and more it looks like the supposed defenders of truth at the Gray Lady.

Read the whole thing.
