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

And this argument hinges on equating "intentions" with "links" which I think is highly misleading in this context. I mean, we can sit here and come up with a laundry list of global leaders who may have "intentions" of working with various terrorist cells.

In an odd way, I agree with you. It's virtually impossible, without the passage of time and the benefit of looking back on the history of the relationship with Saddam, to get an accurate picture of what was really going on with Saddam. What we get, and will continune to get, are tidbits of intelligence information that leak out in dribs and drabs, that over the course of time, we'll have to try to piece together. Obviously, this is just a piece of the puzzle. But it's a piece that pretty definitively suggests that Saddam was not the benign dictator that the Headline of this thread suggests.
