It seems the Pentagon report on Saddam Hussein's ties to Al-Qaeda DOES show that such ties did exist with at least two Al-Qaeda groups. Ed Morrissey at Hot Air.com has the details which contradict the way the liberal media reported the Pentagon study initially:

Earlier this week, the Pentagon announced that an investigation into over 600,000 documents captured at the end of the invasion of Iraq showed no operational links to al-Qaeda — or at least, that’s how the media reported it. After a strange few days in which the Pentagon delayed the report, it finally hit the internet last night — and it’s clear that the analysis done by the media was superficial at best. If no operational “smoking gun” could be found, the report still shows that Saddam Hussein had plenty of ties to all sorts of terrorist groups, including radical Islamist jihadis.
