Title: Chapter on Hussein's links to al Qaeda
Review: For those in the mainstream media and elsewhere who continue to insist that there is and was no reason to suggest Saddam Hussein had no links to al Qaeda this book is going to be a dissapointment.There is an entire chapter detailing Tenet's battles with Feith, Cheney and company over how strong the links were but Tenet reveals that Zarqawi was in Iraq in 2002 (after a decade of meetings between Saddam's regime and al Qaeda leaders), as were hundreds of al Qaeda members. Zarqawi and associates of Ayman al Zawahiri were shipping weapons from Baghdad to their camp in Northern Iraq, surely with at least the knowledge of Hussein's regime, according to Tenet.It's important to keep in mind that quite a bit of classified material was undoubtedly removed from the book on both this issue and the WMD issue but the book certainly dispells the notion that the links between were made from whole cloth by the Bush administration.
