Bush disputes panel on Iraq al Qaida link in 9/11 aftermath
The bipartisan commission highlighted improvisation by homeland defense agencies after the 9/11 attacks. Gen. Richard Myers recalled fighting phantom threats as reports of bombings spread quickly. Bush contradicted findings of no collaboration between Saddam Hussein and al Qaida, framing ties cited in the lead up to 2003 invasion. The panel, near finalizing its review, aims to report next month on the events that killed nearly 3,000.
