The press wants to run out and say there's a fundamental split here now between what the president said and what the commission said. Jim Thompson is a member of the commission who's since been on the air. I saw him with my own eyes. And there's no conflict. What they were addressing was whether or not they were involved in 9/11. And there they found no evidence to support that proposition. They did not address the broader question of a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida in other areas, in other ways...."

Sure. Iraq could have been supporting al Qaeda's non-core functions, like its initiatives into legitimate businesses in Cuba and Vegas. I'm sure the Commission, in its rush to prove or disprove connections between "Iraq" and "9/11," totally missed this and put aside and disregarded all the evidence of Iraq's many contributions to al Qaeda side projects other than "Death to America."
