An exhaustive review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents that were captured after the 2003 U.S. invasion has found no evidence that Saddam Hussein's regime had any operational links with Osama bin Laden's al Qaida terrorist network.
The Pentagon-sponsored study, scheduled for release later this week, did confirm that Saddam's regime provided some support to other terrorist groups, particularly in the Middle East, U.S. officials told McClatchy. However, his security services were directed primarily against Iraqi exiles, Shiite Muslims, Kurds and others he considered enemies of his regime.
The new study of the Iraqi regime's archives found no documents indicating a "direct operational link" between Hussein's Iraq and al Qaida before the invasion, according to a U.S. official familiar with the report.
Wow, I cannot believe that anybody had to waste the manpower and paper to publish such a report. This is an indication of just how thoroughly the Bush administration had confused the issue with their blatant lies and disinformation in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq.
Now that I think about it I am not even sure I should have wasted my time posting this.
I am pretty sure that whoever is still in the dark about this issue doesn't have access to the Internet or computers. They are probably still communicating with each other through two tin cans connected with a string.
