SADDAM HUSSEIN AND 9/11. A Newsweek poll suggests that 41 percent of Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein's government had a direct role in planning, financing or carrying out the massacres of 9/11. Surprisingly, this number has even inched up 5 percent in the last two years.
I want to pull out all my hair out of sheer frustration. It's one thing for the administration to try to connect two disparate events (the 9/11 attacks and the Iraq occupation) for propaganda purposes. It's quite another thing to realize that a sizeable portion of the American public is either not getting the correct information from their usual news sources or does not believe those news sources.
