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

But, yes, I do believe that over the passage of time, as more documents are translated and released to the public, we will get a clearer picture of what was going on inside Iraq, inside Saddam's regime. I really don't understand how someone could make a coherent argument to the contrary.

Oh, but I think your post did underscore the intention of somehow vindicating the very misleading propaganda campaign in which the administration engaged in before the war.

After all, all of this Monday-morning quarterbacking is about ascertaining whether or not the U.S. was justified in invading vis a vis how much of a threat did Hussein pose.

Unless I'm missing something, are there other classified documents that we're not aware of? And to the contrary, I can't see how anybody could see there would be some large body of information which would reveal that Hussein had this vast network of connections to terrorist cells. I mean, realistically what's left to look at which might be ground-breaking?

I'm pretty sure that any information which would remotely vindicate the case the administration was making before the war would have been released already. Last, just about every government agency/study into the matter has come to the same conclusion: there were little, if any--and very tenous links between radical terrorist organizations and Hussein.
