Oh, my! It looks like Dick (DICK!) Cheney's "Saddam was in league with Al Qaeda" narrative just took
a barrel of birdshot in the face:
Iraqi documents collected by US intelligence during the Iraq war and released by the Bush administration show Saddam Hussein’s regime was investigating “rumours” that 3,000 Iraqis and Saudis had travelled unofficially to Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks to fight US troops.
...
... [O]ne of the documents translated by The Associated Press, a letter from an Iraqi intelligence official, dated Aug. 17, 2002, asked agents in the country to be on the lookout for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and another unnamed man whose picture was attached.
As in, arrest the terrorist bastards. Threat to Ba'athists. Threat to Americans. Threat to secularization.
Well, well, well!
