Just in time for the congressional election end-game, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has asserted once again that al Q and Saddam had no connection, supposedly making our invasion illegitmate. But a deputy Iraq prime minister, Barham Salih, a Kurdish politcian imprisoned by Saddam, disagrees.
"‘The alliance between the Baathists and jihadists which sustains Al Qaeda in Iraq is not new, contrary to what you may have been told.’ He went on to say, ‘I know this at first hand. Some of my friends were murdered by jihadists, by Al Qaeda-affiliated operatives who had been sheltered and assisted by Saddam’s regime.’"
