War Room - Salon.com: This just in: No evidence of Saddam-al-Qaida ties

War Room - Salon.com: "This just in: No evidence of Saddam-al-Qaida ties

It's old news to those who've been paying attention, and it will probably never sink in for those who haven't: The Senate Intelligence Committee announced today that there's no evidence that Saddam Hussein had ties to al-Qaida or to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi before the United States invaded Iraq.

The revelation, such as it is, comes in a nearly 400-page report on a portion of the Intelligence Committee's investigation into prewar intelligence and the manipulation thereof. As the length of the report suggests, there is a good deal of new detail here. Among other things, the report reveals for the first time that a CIA assessment in October 2005 concluded that Saddam 'did not have a relationship, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi and his associates.'"
