Beyond the fringe:

You've probably heard the statistic: 62% of all Republicans said they thought Saddam was involved with the 9/11 attacks. But if you look at the story, there is this astonishing fact:

[Of all surveyed*] 32% said they thought Saddam had personally planned [the 9/11 attack].

* Republicans, Democrats, and Independents

Wow. That's something that even the Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes wouldn't touch.

That must be why Bush's approval numbers never get very low. But a question remains. Of that 32% that think Saddam personally planned the attack, what are their opinions of Osama bin Laden? Is he innocent in their minds?
