From today's New York Times corrections page:

An article on Monday about Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz's comments at a forum on Iraq misstated President Bush's position on whether there were contacts between Al Qaeda and the government of Saddam Hussein. Mr. Bush has said there were such contacts; he has not said they were unsubstantiated.

The Times and the president's other critics, need to understand that while there is no evidence Saddam Hussein was complicit in the Sept. 11 attack on the United States, there is no doubt that Saddam -- and therefore Iraq -- was a state sponsor of terrorism.
