It appears that late-night tv host David Letterman is not among the 41% of Americans who still believe Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11.

Letterman introduced his list of "Top 10 Signs Your Neighbor is Hiding Osama bin Laden" by suggesting that "we should be outraged that this guy is still out running around."

"Remember how great we felt when they found Saddam Hussein and then they hung the guy?" recalled Letterman. "Remember how great that made us all feel? And he had nothing to do with it. So imagine how great we'd feel if we got this guy."

"Believe me," Letterman added, "I'm not opposed to the occasional hanging."
