Rumsfeld sees no sign Saddam had role in 9-11

At a Pentagon news conference, Rumsfeld was asked about a poll that indicated nearly 70 percent of respondents thought the Iraqi leader probably was personally involved.
"I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that," Rumsfeld said.
