Here's an interesting tidbit buried in a CNN report on the recent ricin arrests in Great Britain. It seems that the part of Iraq NOT controlled by Hussein has ties to Al-Qaeda. The Bushies are looking for an Iraq-Bin Laden link in all the wrong places.

U.S. officials said in August that the Islamic extremist group Ansar al-Islam had tested ricin along with other chemical and biological agents in northern Iraq, territory controlled by Kurds, not Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

The group is allegedly linked to al-Qaeda.
