Looking for links on Al Qaa Qaa

[dkamin]

Just had lunch with a conservative colleague, who of course brought up politics, claiming that a) NBC had reported that Al Qaa Qaa's munitions were all gone when the US arrived; b) that there were "credible" reports that the Russians had shipped them to Syria before the invasion; and c) that the American in the terrorist tape held by ABC News was considered one of the highest threats by the US intelligence.

I told him I was positive that a) and b) were Drudge nonsense that had already been debunked, and that I was skeptical about c). Looking for links.

Thanks in advance.
