Exhaustive review sponsored by the Pentagon finds NO link between Saddam, al Qaida

I would say cooperate, finance, lend logistical support. Saddam was more than willing to use terrorist organizations that coincided with his objectives.

On this, and many other threads, the argument has been made that Saddam had zero ties to al Qaeda. Clearly, if these documents are to be believed, that is not the case. It still leaves open to debate whether the Administration significantly overstated their case regarding Saddam's ties to terrorists, in their zeal to remove Saddam. But the is a distinct difference between overstating a case, and complete fabrication.
