CIA Learned in '02 That Bin Laden Had No Iraq Ties, Report Says - washingtonpost.com

Di anyone really believe that Osama and Saddam were Tennis partners at the Tikrit Country Club?

Apparently so.

When did Americans become so air-headed?

CIA Learned in '02 That Bin Laden Had No Iraq Ties, Report Says - washingtonpost.com:

The CIA learned in late September 2002 from a high-level member of Saddam Hussein's inner circle that Iraq had no past or present contact with Osama bin Laden and that the Iraqi leader considered bin Laden an enemy of the Baghdad regime, according to a recent Senate Intelligence Committee report.

Although President Bush and other senior administration officials were at that time regularly linking Hussein to al-Qaeda, the CIA's highly sensitive intelligence supporting the contrary view was apparently not passed on to the White House or senior Bush policymakers.
