A top US "spy catcher", Paul Redmond, was recently brought out of retirement by George W. and tasked with a secret investigation into Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Specifically, he was asked to investigate whether - and how - these evil-doers had obtained top-secret US computer software called "Promis", which would have enabled them to pinpoint every move in the US military's global manhunts.

The SUNDAY EXPRESS claimed this weekend that Mr. Redmond has suddenly and mysteriously resigned. Details are sketchy, but it appears that Mr Redmond's conclusions could have been very embarrassing for George Bush Snr. Saddam and Osama may have obtained the software from the Russians, who obtained it from a rogue US spy. This could be the link between Iraq and Al-Qaeda that the US has been desperate to prove, but if the trail leads back to El Busho Snr, chances are the truth will remain a secret.
