The Kurdish daily Kurdistani Nwe has published a 2002 letter from the Iraqi presidency that it says proves that there was cooperation between the regime of Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda.
The letter, which appeared on the paper's front page, was published by the intelligence apparatus of the Iraqi presidency and discussed an intention to meet with Ayman Al-Zawahiri in order to examine a plan drawn up by the Iraqi presidency to carry out a "revenge operation" in Saudi Arabia.

Terror Watch: More Questions on Missing Imam

“The court summary identifies Abu Omar—describing him as an “Egyptian
extremist”—as one of a number of suspected terror operatives who were involved
in recruiting fighters for the camps in Iraq, as well as procuring and
distributing false travel documents and the raising of funds. It also quotes
from a June 15, 2002, wiretap of a conversation between Abu Omar and an
unidentified visitor from Germany in which the two talk about a “secret meeting
in Poland with the sheiks” that would help build a new jihadi organization to be
financed by sympathizers in Saudi Arabia. At one point, the visitor says, “We
are also waiting [for] the sheikh from Iraq”—an apparent reference, the
document asserts, to Mullah Krekar, the radical cleric believed to have been a
founder of Ansar Al-Islam. The document states that the conversation “clearly
demonstrated the intention to organize a new subversive international terrorist
structure ... that obeyed the decisions of Al Tawhid [Zarqawi’s organization
] for the commissioning of attacks.”
This transcripts and other records in the case show that Abu Omar was “directly
in contact with the representatives of the Zarqawi group and Ansar Al-Islam,”
says Jean-Charles Brisard, a Paris-based terror researcher who works closely
with lawyers representing families of September 11 victims.”
So we were right there was a connection between Sadamn and AQ and the libs were lying about Bush lying.
