I am of Blue's mind. Saddam shat a brick when he heard about 9/11 and probably knew in that instant that he was doomed. Oddly enough he did little to save himself and made all the wrong moves as the pressure for an invasion mounted. But that is another subject.
Overall, I think we can safely agree that Saddam's intel people had a link to OBL. I would have been surprised if they did not. It's the business of intel folks to nose around. But whether they were up to something involving attacks on the US is a totally separate question, and so far we have no answers. If our intel people find a smoking gun, we'll know about it within days if not hours. So far, the silence is telling.
As for the FBI agent who "lived" with Saddam for so long, it is entirely possible, knowing Saddam's shrewdness, that he gamed the agent. He knew it was his last chance to shape his history. So, he admitted some things to give others credibility. A book can't be far off.
