There were efforts to make the connection to justify the invasion of Iraq as 9/11 related but, as I recall, none was ever documented as fact.
IMHO, the 9/11 attacks on the US were used as a pretense to take out Sadaam Hussein for other, more personal reasons.
Yes, he was a brutal man and heartily disliked. But there are a lot of brutal men in power, like in Saudi Arabia, that we live with. And there is at least as much brutality in Iraq now as when Sadaam was in power.

Well we have one fact — the uncontrollable Abu Al Zarqawi (Who even Osama Bin Ladin personally had to rebuke for beheading Nick Berg on video) was in Iraq and was killed in Iraq.
The question is — was Saddam harboring him in Iraq or did he go to Iraq AFTER Saddam’s fall?
