OK, so it's not quite a scandal, but MI-5 is testifying that there was no evidence of Iraq's involvement in 9-11 despite some US administration officials trying to make the claim.
British and U.S. intelligence had no credible evidence of a link between Saddam Hussein and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States before the 2003 Iraq invasion, the former chief of Britain's domestic spy agency told the country's inquiry into the war.
Eliza Manningham-Buller, director of the MI5 between 2002 and 2007, said that nothing to connect the attacks to Baghdad was discovered ahead of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
"There was no credible intelligence to suggest that connection and that was the judgment, I might say, of the CIA," she told the inquiry. "It was not a judgment that found favor with some parts of the American machine."
