Iraq relationship
Couldn't help to notice that Al Qaeda is referred to as a leftist terrorist organization on the [[Terrorism]] page. This is not mentioned in this article at all and frankly I have never heard of it before. --[[User:Sachaztan|Sachaztan]] 18:46, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

== Iraq relationship ==
The following section does not reflect the source:
''The 9/11 Commission Report has tied al-Qaeda to the government of Ba'athist government of Saddam Hussein,[2] specifically the alleged harboring of al-Qaeda second-in-command Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and cooperation in Saddam's war against the kurds. the 9/11 Commission Report cites Bin laden meeting with Iraqi intelligence officials in Khatroum as early as 1995. Bin Laden declined reported Iraqi offers of a safe haven, instead settling in Afghanistan. Friendly contacts between Iraqis and Bin Laden continued.''
Nowhere in that source is Zarqawi mentioned, who wasn't even a player until after the US invasion. I thought this might be a mistaken reference to Zawahiri, but there's nothing about him being harbored there. Also, the source mentions several times that while contacts occurred between AQ and Hussein's government, there was nothing approaching an operational relationship between the two. Since the article is locked, I can't make the change. [[User:Dchall1|Dchall1]] 15:32, 27 April 2008 (EDT)
