I've written about Saddam's long history with jihadis despite the boneheadedly wrong conventional wisdom that a secular guy like Saddam could never cooperate with jihadis, and vice versa.
Here's another reminder that Saddam really, really did work with al Qaeda before we took him down.
Yeah, I know, hard to believe, huh?
(And no, this doesn't mean that I think Saddam ordered the 9/11 attack.)
