People should back off on giving the 9/11 commission flak. It should not be a surprise at all that they concluded that they "found no evidence that Saddam Hussein cooperated with al-Qaida terrorists to target the United States". The key point here is demonstrable evidence or cooperation, as opposed to hearsay which may be contaminated with disinfo. It is worth noting that Bush himself said as recently as September last year that "We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the 11 September attacks." Hunches and uncorroborated beliefs, whether they be right or wrong, are not evidence; they are opinion. Bush has reasons for his opinion, but they do not constitute evidence.
