Fans of the invasion of Iraq point at "evidence" that Iraq was connected to 9/11. Bush and Cheney have long insisted that there was a connection. Now we know that some of their "evidence" was fabricated.
In fact, the administration has long known that Saddam viewed al Qaeda as a threat. Not only did they know that Saddam was not allied with al Qaeda, they hid and obfuscated the real intelligence that the did have.
