An exhaustive review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents that were captured after the 2003 U.S. invasion has found no evidence that Saddam Hussein's regime had any operational links with Osama bin Laden's al Qaida terrorist network.

I can only wonder what kind of documents they were expecting to see on their search. Some 8x10 glossies of old Saddam and Bin Laden smooching?

That would defeat the whole idea of proxy alliances between a state government and a terrorist organization. It's not that would be a new concept in that part of the world.

Maybe the "think tanks" was looking for contracts in triplicates.... signatures included.

The report claims Saddam had links to other Sunni Terrorist Groups and helped fund them but if these clowns would look at how these Sunni Groups were founded they would learn of the connections to Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda and Saddam funded some of the same groups so I don't know why that wouldn't be an operational link?
