Republican Congressman Robin Hayes would like the American public to just trust him that Saddam Hussein was involved in the September 11, 2001 attacks:
"Saddam Hussein and people like him were very much involved in 9/11," Rep. Robin Hayes said.Told no investigation had ever found evidence to link Saddam and 9/11, Hayes responded, "I'm sorry, but you must have looked in the wrong places."
Oh. Sorry! Why didn't you say so before? I guess the 9/11 Commission looked in the wrong places, too.
Hayes, the vice chairman of the House subcommittee on terrorism, said legislators have access to evidence others do not.
Okay, what evidence? Oh — you can't tell us. National security and all that. Yeah, got it.
Of course, your Republican colleague John McCain disagrees with you:
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said that Saddam was a dangerous man, but when asked about Hayes' statement, would not link the deposed Iraqi ruler to the terrorist attacks on New York, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania."I haven't seen compelling evidence of that," McCain, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told CNN.
Maybe Hayes has access to evidence that McCain doesn't.

Yea I have heard about this guy. If he has evidence why not present it? I mean it will be a big help to Bush's sagging poll numbers.
