Hayes argued prior to the proposed 2003 invasion of Iraq that liberating Iraq would send a strong message to Iran, North Korea, and other hostile regimes. “It will be a fantastic model, not only for the Middle East, but for places all over the world that haven’t had these kinds of freedoms in the past.” The Connection, Hayes’ 2004 book, claimed to establish an operational link between Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and al-Qaeda. On October 27, 2003, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas J. Feith leaked a memo to the United States Congress. The 9/11 Commission concluded in 2004 that there were “no collaborative operational ties.”
