from the March 14, 2003 edition of the Christain Science Monitor-

The impact of Bush linking 9/11 and Iraq

American attitudes about a connection have changed, firming up the case for war.

excerpt-

Polling data show that right after Sept. 11, 2001, when Americans were asked open-ended questions about who was behind the attacks, only 3 percent mentioned Iraq or Hussein. But by January (2003) of this year, attitudes had been transformed. In a Knight Ridder poll, 44 percent of Americans reported that either "most" or "some" of the Sept. 11 hijackers were Iraqi citizens. The answer is zero.
