Fortunately the American people seem to be smarter, than the media gives them credit for.

Americans Disagree With 9/11 Commission on Al Qaeda Iraq Link (69% think there WAS link)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1157076/posts
(CPOD) Jun. 20, 2004 – Many Americans believe al-Qaeda may have worked alongside the regime of Saddam Hussein, according to a poll by Harris Interactive. 69 per cent of respondents believe the deposed Iraqi leader supported the terrorist network, while 22 per cent disagree.
On Jun. 16, the federal commission that is currently investigating the events of 9/11 stated that there had been "no collaborative relationship" between the deposed Iraqi regime and the terrorist network in the planning and carrying out of the 9/11 attacks. Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked and crashed four airplanes on Sept. 11, 2001, killing more than 3,000 people.
On Jun. 17, U.S. president George W. Bush said that his administration "never said that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated between Saddam and al-Qaeda. We did say there were numerous contacts between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda." Vice-president Dick Cheney declared that the commission "did not address the broader question of a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda in other areas, in other ways" aside from the 9/11 attacks, and stated that the evidence of a link "is overwhelming."
