In the aftermath, I recall mention of some attempts made to link Saddam Hussein with Al-Qaida. I don't recall that a case was successfully made, and then the discussion about WMD was started not long after. It was like they couldn't link Saddam to AQ, so started after him via another means.

I was alleging that just as the WMD were used as an excuse to go to war, that a homegrown plot to destroy the Towers was used in the same way.

Not that my memory is perfect at all...I just had found this and wondered what others thought.
