Anything of real consequence would have made news other than Fox.
Not if such news didn't fit the overall agenda of brainwashing people like you to discount the complicity of Saddam's regime with Al Qai'da.
Lady.. I spent almost 2 years in Iraq, delving through all kind of information, and doing my little part in helping take down Al Qai'da networks.
And the overall common theme I found when we captured an Al Qai'da linked cell leader is the fact that they were previously involved with either Iraqi intelligence, their Special Security Organization, or Fidayin Saddam. People like Zarqawi and some of the upper echelon of Al Qai'da in Iraq were foreigners, but the mid-level cell leaders were almost all former Iraqi intelligence officers.. The kind of people who all of the pundits would lead you to believe were "secular" Arabs.
I wish I could remember all the names of Al Qai'da/Ansar Al Sunnah members who were all former Ba'thists.
Umar Hadid (former bodyguard, supposedly now deceased, to Saddam and Zarqawi's right hand man)
Saad Al Firas.. Iraqi intelligence..
Abu Ayman.. Iraqi Intelligence..
ALL WERE CONSIDERED PART OF ZARQAWI'S INNER CIRCLE.
Sajida Hussein's former bodyguard (the name eludes me now) is a major Al Qai'da facilitator, and rumored to be a link in directing financing from Saddam's wife and daughter, Raghad.
But here a few links where you can start educating yourself. And I'm sorry if you don't like the "messengers" where that information is found. But it seems that the MSM doesn't want to give any coverage to such news:

Ray Robinson also has some great links. He worked on the same project I did, although he was not located in Iraq as I was. He's brought to light some (now) publicly available Iraqi documents and their translations. He, like myself, is just astonished that this material is not being circulated in a greater manner than it has up to now:

The Iraqis, who for several years paid smaller groups to do their dirty work, were quick to discover the advantages of Al-Qaeda. The Israeli sources claim that for the past two years Iraqi intelligence officers were shuttling between Baghdad and Afghanistan, meeting with Ayman Al Zawahiri. According to the sources, one of the Iraqi intelligence officers, Salah Suleiman, was captured last October by the Pakistanis near the border with Afghanistan. The Iraqis are also reported to have established strong ties with Imad Mughniyeh.
"We’ve only got scraps of information, not the full picture," admits one intelligence source, "but it was good enough for us to send a warning six weeks ago to our allies that an unprecedented massive terror attack was expected. One of our indications suggested that Imad Mughniyeh met with some of his dormant agents on secret trips to Germany. We believe that the operational brains behind the New-York attack were Mughniyeh and Zawahiri, who were probably financed and got some logistical support from the Iraqi Intelligence Service (SSO)."
