Al Qaeda and Saddam 

It's "put up or shut up" time for the Bush Administration, one WaPo columnist writes, in regard to pre 9/11 links between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.

But as Glenn Reynolds points out, everytime someone "puts up," it's Big Media that promptly "shuts up." He references two sources. The first link mentions a former Hussein officer, who apparently doubled as "a very prominent member of al Qaida." The second one includes quotes from 9/11 Commissioners, which have largely gone ignored.

Here's the problem: the Left, and most major media outlets, don't want to recognize any links between Saddam and Al Qaeda, UNLESS they specifically show that Saddam helped orchestrate 9/11. The mere fact that the two bodies worked in conjecture on any other plots, or had plans to develop subsequent attacks against American interests or the American mainland, don't seem as important to them.
