But Daniel Bartlett, White House communications director, responded on CNN that the administration has never accused Saddam of being involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. Instead, he pointed to the prewar presence in Baghdad of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian who has ties to al-Qaida and now is a leader of the anti-occupation insurgency, as well as Saddam's history of giving money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers.

"The fact that al-Zarqawi was in Baghdad before the invasion demonstrates that (Saddam) was giving safe haven to al-Qaida affiliates," Bartlett said. "Make no mistake about it, Saddam Hussein had ties to terror, both to al-Qaida affiliates and other ones."
