IIRC, he said that neither he nor Blair had ever made a link between Iraq and Al Queda. James Naughtie (to whom much respect) instantly quoted Tony saying "There seems to be link between Iraq and Al Queda." Jack then claimed that this was out of context, and he'd had gone on to say that any links were purely speculative. James pointed out that actually the next line was that it remained to be seen how deep the ties go, which wasn't quite the same thing, and certainly seemed to intend a very different implication. I'm not able to check the accuracy of my recall from work as I've got no soundcard, but there's a link here.
