“On the 9th of March 2003, on the CBS program Face the Nation, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice was asked about the alleged link between Saddam and al-Qa’ida training: ‘We know from a detainee that–the head of training for al-Qa’ida, that they sought help in developing chemical and biological weapons because they weren’t doing very well on their own. They sought it in Iraq. They received the help.’ ”
