So how can Scheuer now say Iraq and al Qaeda did not collaborate? Tim Russert noted that Scheuer seems "to lay out a pretty strong case of
connection between al Qaeda and Iraq," and asked him about the apparent contradiction on Meet the Press. Here is the entire exchange:
Russert: So you saw a link between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden?
Scheuer: I certainly saw a link when I was writing the books in terms of the open-source literature, unclassified literature, but I had nothing to do
with Iraq during my professional career until the run-up to the war. What I was talking about on "Hardball" was I was assigned the duty of going
back about nine or 10 years in the classified archives of the CIA. I went through roughly 19,000 documents, probably totaling 50,000 to 60,000 pages,
and within that corpus of material, there was absolutely no connection in the terms of a--in terms of a relationship--in the terms of a relationship .
.
I guess this supports your view?
