ON MARCH 7, 2004, Ahmed Chalabi, the controversial head of the Iraqi National Congress, appeared on 60 Minutes. Lesley Stahl grilled him about claims that the INC provided bad prewar intelligence on weapons of mass destruction to the U.S. government–something virtually no one these days disputes. In the course of the interview, Stahl raised questions about the intelligence on Iraq’s relationship with al Qaeda. Chalabi produced a document which he claimed came from the files of the Iraqi Intelligence Service. On a list of Iraqi Intelligence assets was the name “Osama bin Laden.” The document, dated March 28, 1992, described bin Laden as a Saudi businessman “in good contact” with the Iraqi Intelligence section in Syria.
