The author of these piece blithely ignores the fact that Saddam Hussein has been portraying himself as a pious Muslim, not a secular leader, for the last ten years. Some interesting quotes are relevant here: "As for its (Iraq) involvement with al-Qa'eda, there have been connections between the groups, but these have been (as best we can tell) tenuous and inconsequential." "It remains to be seen, however, whether Saddam would be willing to risk such serious consequences to provide more active support to al-Qa'eda and whether bin Laden's Muslim fundamentalists would be willing to collaborate with a mullah-killing secularist like Saddam." Pages 155-158 in Pollock.
