Captured al Qaida officer Ibn Sheikh al-Libby (apparently no relation) was the source of "intelligence" claiming that Saddam Hussein had substantial ties with al Qaida. Captured by the CIA, he underwent "extraordinary rendition" to Egypt for "interrogation". He made the claim, in great detail, so that the Egyptians would stop torturing him.
Thereby demolishing that silliness about "access to the same intelligence" and also demonstrating how much information obtained through torture is worth.
