Saddam at LEAST knew that 9/11 was coming.
Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper “Al-Nasiriya” carried a column headlined, “American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin.” (July 21, 2001)
In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US “with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”
The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden “will strike America on the arm that is already hurting,” and that the US “will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs” – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, “New York, New York”.

It's frustrating when gov't officials hold back intelligence reports because they are afraid it may reveal the source. That's true, but I also get the feeling that Bush has a distaste for "politicising" the war that our enemies have no problem with. I just hope that as the election nears, our side gets over it and takes the gloves off.

By the way, not only was Mohammed Atta witnessed in Prague meeting an Iraqi intelligence agent, but the CIA has been lying about this issue for a couple of years now. They've been trying to claim that he was in Virginia Beach the whole time, when the fact is that they (embarrassingly) completely lost track of him and had no idea of his whereabouts at the time in question.
What I'm not sure of is whether they're lying about these kinds of things because Bush and Cheney have instructed them to do so, because they're just covering their asses as usual, or because they're deliberately trying to undermine the entire administration's case for war.

The number one issue for the election seems to be focused on what a majority of Americans believe was a war with Iraq that had no justification. The rants from the left and even from the right continue to be based on "no WMD found", Iraq couldn't have harmed us, etc. Proving a link between Saddam and 911 would wake up most of the anti-war movement and those that are whining "Bush lied to get us into an unecessary war" I agree with your post, but I believe the Left will NEVER admit the war was just OR necessary.
I had an argument with my anti-war brother over the weekend, and it is not that they don't see the connection between Iraq and terror, it is that they REFUSE to even consider anything which would make George W. Bush right and them wrong.

The left will never come around but I don't care if they do. Who I want to come around are the moderate Democrats and the indendents. I don't need my party to convince everybody, I just need them to run everything.

There is considerable information to that effect, described in this piece and elsewhere. They include Iraqi documents discovered by U.S. forces in Baghdad that U.S. officials have not made public. Why not?

They will ignore and deny this info as long as possible. They will simply say "there is no evidence" until the Bush administration forces their hand by categorically stating we have found the smoking gun.
I trust Bush's judgment on this, an anti-war lefty can still read Mylroie's article here and declare it to be circumstancial, but rest assured, there will be more proof.
