That is anything but clear. According to everything I have read Saddam does not have that much control in Kurdistan- and the Kurds have a HUGE, let me say that again HUGE. motive for getting the US to attack Saddam.

And look at this:

"After the Taliban defeat, Zarqawi slipped out of that country through Iran and made his way to a Baghdad hospital, where his injured leg was treated or amputated, certainly with the knowledge of Saddam's mukhabarat secret police. He was then dispatched to Al Qaeda's Ansar cell in Iraqi Kurdistan, reported the captives who worked with him in the mountains, to create the terrorist poison laboratory."

I don't know how we can know this was with the knowledge of the secret police- considering the number of refugees moving through this area. I am 100% certain Safire doesn't know that for sure. It makes a nice pumped up article though. Safire obviously wants to be convinced. If you want it badly enough, you can believe even mud is clear.
