Were there contacts over time between Iraq and al-Qaeda? Yes, there were efforts made to communicate. We found no evidence of collaboration in any effort to mount any kind of operation against the United States' interests.

Well, our concern has to do with the period prior to 9-11, up to and including the catastrophe that occurred. And thank goodness, we're not obliged to make assessments of what's going on now and deal with these current events.

But as I said to Dr. Rice following her testimony, and I think she appreciated it, we had our job to do and we did it best we could, trying to get answers to the important questions that the 9-11 Commission must answer.

And it turned out that the Roberts Commission did not fully utilize the information available and that it came to conclusions which were I think quite short sighted and, indeed, in some cases, scapegoated individuals.

Well, our position, and our chairman has talked about this extensively, is that we had a lot of intelligence prior to 9-11. We knew that two al Qaeda operatives who ultimately participated in the 9-11 disaster were in the United States. We didn't find them.
