There was a link between Saddam and al-Qa'eda

From The Telegraph

As so often in the coverage of Iraq, those who make the (illogical) claim that there was no such contact and therefore no cause for war saw in this report only what they wanted to see.

They read the words: "We have no credible evidence that Iraq and al-Qa'eda co-operated", and claimed official confirmation that no links had existed. But the report actually says: "We have no credible evidence that Iraq and al-Qa'eda co-operated on attacks upon the United States" - not that they never dealt with each other. On the contrary, it says they did deal with each other, particularly in Sudan.

Just like all the weapons of mass destruction that have been found; funny how the anti-war types have fallen silent on this one now. WMD's used to be their mantra and when they were found they had to drop that and needed a new rallying cry. You no longer hear "Bush lied - people died". So it is with the Al Qaeda connection. It is the anit-war movement who have been lying all along and continue to do so.
