(Well, Cheney is a liar, so what what do we expect?)
'US Vice President Dick Cheney repeated his assertions of al Qa'ida links to Saddam Hussein's Iraq as the US Defence Department released a report citing more evidence that the pre-war government did not cooperate with the terrorist group.
Mr Cheney contended that al-Qaeda was operating in Iraq before the March 2003 invasion led by US forces, and that terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was leading the Iraqi branch of al-Qaeda. Others in al-Qaeda planned the September 11, 2001, attacks.'
