From information in a New York Times article on March 2, 2003: “Whereas right after 9/11 a mere 6 percent believed that bin Laden had collaborated with Saddam Hussein, by the eve of [the Iraq] war that figure had risen to 66 percent. A majority now even believed that Iraqis had been among the hijackers.”
