you need schoolin' and baby I'm not foolin'

The always sensible Talking Points blows the lid off of this bit of ersatz pre-Halloween fear mongering re: disks containing school floor plans, etc. found in Iraq:

But this CNN report from late this morning says that Department of Homeland Security officials say "the material was associated with a person in Iraq, and it could not be established that this person had any ties to terrorism. He did have a connection to civic groups doing planning for schools in Iraq."

So the guy with the disks was involved in setting up schools in Iraq? Sounds a little less worrisome than finding them in Zarqawi's butler's knapsack, right?
