[bodytext] => Rumsfeld says he's seen no strong proof tying Hussein, al-Qaeda New York Times News Service – 5 October 23004 Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said yesterday that he had seen no 'strong, hard evidence' linking Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda, although he tempered his comment by noting that stark disagreements on that issue remained among American intelligence analysts. 'I have seen the answer to that question migrate in the intelligence community over the period of a year in the most amazing way,' Rumsfeld said when asked about ties between Hussein and the terror network run by Osama bin Laden. Senior administration officials cited the existence of ties between them as a rationale for war on Iraq. http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/nation/9838095.htm?1c Well, well, now we hear some surprise It makes a change from bare-faced lies Well then, what was this all about?
