CBS News: Plans For Iraq Attack Began On 9/11


This Sept. 2002 story doesn’t mention the PNAC, but looks to be describing one link in the chain.

From CBSNews.com:

Plans For Iraq Attack Began On 9/11

(CBS) CBS News has learned that barely five hours after American Airlines Flight 77 plowed into the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was telling his aides to come up with plans for striking Iraq � even though there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the attacks.

That’s according to notes taken by aides who were with Rumsfeld in the National Military Command Center on Sept. 11 � notes that show exactly where the road toward war with Iraq began, reports CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin.
