Cohen: notta atta?

In his screed against the Bush administration Bin Laden's Victory, Richard Cohen writes

We now know, the Weekly Standard notwithstanding, that Mohamed Atta did not meet in Prague with someone from Iraqi intelligence.

Actually it shows extreme ignorance on Cohen's part to assert this. This meeting did take place. There were some denials from the government but those denials were not credible. The source is not only the Weekly Standard, but Edward Jay Epstein writing in Slate.

I brought up this source and others in an earlier post.

Cohen is so wedded to the idea that the Bush administration is incapable of assimilating evidence against their deeply held beliefs he doesn't realize that he himself is guilty of that sort of denial.

No this isn't the false idea that Cohen asserts, but the one that bugs me the most.
