But you JUST SAID IT!
The New York Times > AP > International > Putin Agrees to Inquiry Into Russian School Siege: “U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Friday that it was too soon to say whether al-Qaida played any role in the school attack, but he said there was an “absolutely” a connection between rebels in Chechnya and the terror network.
“I mean, they’ve been trained in the same training camps in Afghanistan,” he said at the National Press Club in Washington. “So there’s no question but that there’s a linkage between the Chechen terrorists and al-Qaida. But I can’t say that about this event because the investigation’s just in its early stages.””
Grrr….
Sigh….
