So if Al Qaeda are in the US, you would then argue that there is a link between the US Gov't and Al Queda? Surely even you cannot believe that somehow the Al Queda cells in the US have escaped GW Bush's notice If you showed me that the CIA is working with the AQ units to prepare a terrorist war, that would be a parallel case. Saddam ran a police state, and he can say to his credit that few of his many enemies managed to run much of anything in Iraq when he was there. He controlled the borders, he controlled the population, he controlled the secret police, anybody he even had suspicions of disappeared and was never seen again.
