Good for Chris Wallace for calling out the dissembling Douglas Feith on Fox News Sunday (via Atrios):
WALLACE: Now a follow-up to our interview last Sunday with former Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith. Many of you asked us to check out the claim. Here's what he said to us.
FEITH: Nobody in our office said there was an operational relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda. It's not correct. Words matter.
WALLACE: But it turns out he did make that case in a memo he sent to the Senate Intelligence Committee in October of '03. "The Weekly Standard," which saw the memo, described it this way. "Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein had an operational relationship from the early 1990s to 2003 that involved training and explosives and weapons of mass destruction, logistical support for terrorist attacks, al Qaeda training camps and safe haven in Iraq, and Iraqi financial support for al Qaeda."
