From AP Story:

"WASHINGTON - U.S. teams in Iraq (news - web sites) have uncovered some signs that a participant in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center may have received help from the government of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) after the bombing, Bush administration officials say.

...
Cheney, speaking Sept. 14 on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press" program, did not mention the suspect by name. Other officials have confirmed he was speaking of Abdul Rahman Yasin, who is accused of mixing the chemicals in the bomb used in the 1993 attack.


"And we have learned subsequent to that, since we got into Baghdad and got into the intelligence files, that this individual probably also received financing from the Iraqi government, as well as safe haven," Cheney said.

...
Saddam's regime said it had imprisoned Yasin since arresting him in 1994, and that offers to turn him over to the U.S. government were rebuffed in the weeks before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq."




So According to Cheney, Sadaam helped this guy out by imprisoning him. I guess the attempt to link Al Queada, Sadaam, and 9/11 did not work so they are having to go either further back. The rational by Cheney confirms what I have suspected. The members of this administration are officially insane.
