Senate Report: No link between Saddam and al-Qaeda. Report of the Select Committee on Intelligence (6,8 meg pdf) says that debriefings conducted since the invasion of Iraq "indicate that Saddam issued a general order that Iraq should not deal with al-Qaeda. No post-war information suggests that the Iraqi regime attempted to facilitate a relationship with [Osama] Bin Laden. Saddam Hussein was distrustful of al-Qaeda and viewed Islamic extremists as a threat to his regime, refusing all requests from al-Qaeda to provide material or operational support.

But please do remember, we're an anti-republican liberal bastion of terrorist-supporters, completely removed from what really matters! Or something...
