I will be going through the various reports - Senate intel, 911, and butler - as well as hayes sources, to glean a summation.
It looks like some of Hayes speculative possibilities didnt/dont pan out BUT the main point - that there are dozens of Links and connections - DID SHOW UP in other reports.
In particular Zawahiri visit to baghdad in 1992, and Iraqi intelligence meetings in 1998 with Bin Laden.
So ... the truth is out there.
Keep me pinged and/or dont hesitate to comment on the liberating Iraq blog:

Your blog is EXCELLENT!!!
I wish editorials in newspapers would at least be a pale imitation of you superb essay. You really summed it up:
"The real diagnosis is to blame the terrorists for the conditions of terrorism. The real solution is not to feed the monster, but to find and kill the terrorists. "
In the section "Link to Terrorists", the Senate Intel report covers Iraq links to terrorists in general and especially Al Qaeda -- 66 pages worth -- showing that Iraq trained them in chemical, biological, NUCLEAR, and bomb making from "1990 to present".
In addition, the report also covers Iraq having 100s of terrorist training camps for home grown Iraqi terrorist from "1996 to present" specifically dedicated to training to hit US and US interests.
As far as I'm concerned, no additional activity by Saddam -- than what this report validates -- is required in to make a valid case that Saddam was a clear and undeniable threat to the US!
