Contradiction with continuing assertion by Vice President Dick Cheney that Al Qaeda and Iraq had a cooperative relationship before the terrorist attacks; Written statement by Senator Carl Levin of Michigan that it was President George W. Bush's administration that exaggerated the relations between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
