What I was getting at is that the question was vague as to Iraq's involvement. There are many levels of what some could consider involvement:
- Was the Taliban acting under direct orders from Hussein?
- Did Hussein and Bin Laden have a summit meeting to discuss the plans?
- Did Hussein provide funding, weapons, intelligence, or training to the Taliban?
- Did the Iraqi gov't turn a blind eye to Taliban activity?
- Are some of the Iraqi people sympathetic to their cause?
Now I will be the first to admit that I don't know the intricacies of Midde East politics. But to me the question was vague as to what involvement we believe that Iraq had in the 9/11 attacks. And I see people treating it like we are answering with one of the top 2 items on my list, whereas I might have answered "yes" is so far as Iraq's involvement in 9/11 might be comparable to Canada's involvement in the US invasion of Grenada in the early 80's.
Do I think that someone in the Iraqi gov't at some point happen to do something to help out somebody in the Taliban that ended up being of assistance to them carrying out the 9/11 attacks? Yes.
The question has a great deal of grey area, and asks for a black or white answer.
