Actually, it was Czech intelligence that made the link, although our intelligence later cast doubt on it. It is simply untrue that we had no reason to believe a link, whether for 9/11 or generally between Bin Laden and Iraq. It is true that the evidence was not conclusive.

By the way, Clark never reveals who he got the phone call from, or whether it was connected to the White House, and gives no other instance where he was contacted about this. For all we know from his factual comments, there was no pressure from the top to exaggerate, but plenty of suspicion. After all, if we had intended to deceive, why did we debunk the Prague story?
