Many Americans Still Believe Hussein Had Links to al Qaeda
Sizeable minorities of Americans still believe Saddam Hussein had "strong
links to al Qaeda," a Harris Interactive poll shows, though the number has
fallen substantially this year.
About 22% of U.S. adults believe Mr. Hussein helped plan 9/11, the poll
shows, and 26% believe Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the U.S.
invaded. Another 24% believe several of the 9/11 hijackers were Iraqis,
according to the online poll of 1,961 adults.
However, all of these beliefs have declined since February of this year,
when 64% of those polled believed Mr. Hussein had strong links to al Qaeda
and 46% said Mr. Hussein helped plan 9/11. At that time, more than a third
said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and 44% said several of the 9/11
hijackers were Iraqis.
Currently, 56% of adults believe Iraqis are better off now than they were
under Mr. Hussein, down from 76% in February. Nearly half of those polled
say they believe Iraq, under Mr. Hussein, was a threat to U.S. security,
down from 61% in February.
