Americans still believe Iraq involved in 9/11

Catholic New Times, Oct 10, 2004

NEW YORK -- The latest Newsweek poll, released in mid-September, revealed that 42 per cent of Americans continue to believe that Saddam Hussein's regime was "directly involved" in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, despite all the evidence to the contrary. That's nearly as many as the 44 per cent who disagree.

It seems to matter little that every official federal probe, most recently the much-lauded 9/11 Commission, has debunked this myth, in high-profile reports. Yet the percentage of Americans clinging to the Iraq connection has declined only slightly in the past year.
