-->ABC News' Jonathan Karl Reports: The Bush Administration apparently does not want a U.S. military study that found no direct connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda to get any attention.

So I wonder why they would throw this line out there and then reel it back in?

Not something they want on the street with an election coming up. Look for it to be released early next year regardless of the election results. At this point there will be a lot of maneuvering to not give Democrats election year material and to not weaken McCain's Iraq position in the election.
