Unfair to Bush
Nowhere in your article headlined “Bush ties Al Qaeda in Iraq to Sept. 11” (July 25) does the president do any such thing. Nor has he done so anywhere else. Instead, he has made an argument that, at present, Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda has some operational control over Al Qaeda in Iraq. Experts can argue about whether or not this is an exaggeration, but the president’s claim hardly deserves a front-page headline.
