Times Suppresses Info on Iraq-Al Qaeda Ties

The NRO alleges that The NY Times suppressed knowledge of a memo which potentially indicates that there was indeed a relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda.

Ok, The Times is shady. We knew this. BFD. What I'm more concerned about is the manner in which The NRO os trying to suggest that this recently-discovered document is a vindication of Bush's position on the subject. Even after the 9/11 Commission concluded there was no such Iraq/Al Qaeda link—based upon the intelligence which the administration built its case for war on—both Bush and Cheney continue to tout the existence of this connection without providing any evidence, including the new memo in question.

So how is this a vindication for Bush? What—is he some sort of super-President with psychic powers? Did Jesus tell him there was a tie and now that it may check out, after we've bombed the shit out of the country with no evidence, it's all a-okay? "Uh, we had a hunch. Sure, we raided the house without a warrant and dug up the floorboards. But it looks like we were right." Buh? Does innocent until proven guilty mean anything?
