No operational ties between Iraq and al-Qaeda: 9/11 panel

A national commission probing the September 11, 2001, terror attacks found no evidence of “operational” ties between Baghdad and al-Qaeda but did not rule out other forms of cooperation.
The panel’s final report added a tantalizing qualifier to a staff document last month that found no “collaborative relationship,” suggesting at one point that Iraq may have offered to harbor al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
The issue has major political overtones with President George W. Bush, who is seeking reelection in November, citing alleged ties between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda as a key reason for invading Iraq last year.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
