Evidence?

News has now emerged of a possible direct link between Saddam Hussein’s Fedayeen and al Qaeda. If this is confirmed, this is the sort of evidence the US government needs to share with the greater public / independent commissions, and quickly.

(The cynical side of me notes the convenience in the timing of the release of this information. The optimistic side of me hopes this is really brand new, uncontaminated intelligence that marks a change and drives things forward.)

Update: Billmon posts more information, plus an opinion and news doubting the connection.
