Saddam - No Link To Al-Qaeda
Not that there was any doubt of this.
Was it just more bad intelligence or is it lie 437 or 438? I'm losing track.

Saddam 'had no link to al-Qaeda'
There is no evidence of formal links between Iraqi ex-leader Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda leaders prior to the 2003 war, a US Senate report says.
The finding is contained in a 2005 CIA report released by the Senate's Intelligence Committee on Friday.
US President George W Bush has said that the presence of late al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq before the war was evidence of a link.
Opposition Democrats are accusing the White House of deliberate deception.

Meanwhile - there is more than a "link" between the CIA and bin Laden where the CIA sat at bin Laden's bedside in the American Hospital in Dubai and had a chat while bin Laden was top of the FBI wanted list in the US.
Not sure if they brought Osama flowers - would have been a nice gesture :pimp
