No Al Qaeda Connection in Iraq

Whoa, who would have guessed? Before the USA invaded Iraq, the Bush administration made several hundred false statements claiming that Iraq had ties to Al Qaeda. Seems like that just was not the case.
An exhaustive review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents that were captured after the 2003 U.S. invasion has found no evidence that Saddam Hussein's regime had any operational links with Osama bin Laden's al Qaida terrorist network.

Then the report was going to be censored by the Pentagon because it was too politically sensitive. That means it makes the Bush administration look bad. Unfortunately, the report has made it to the internets anyway. You can view it here.
