The panel’s Republican chairman says there were “contacts” between Saddam Hussein’s government and the militant group. Tom Kean says some contacts “were shadowy — but they were there.”

President Bush today disputed the commission’s finding that there was no “collaborative relationship” between Saddam and al-Qaida.

Bush insists, “There was a relationship.” But, he says his administration has never claimed Iraq and al-Qaida together “orchestrated” 9/11.
