The MSNBC story had nothing to do with Saddam

"Well, wouldn't you know it, but today MSNBC is saying that there was a pre-war Iraq/al-Queda link including traces of ricin and other biological weapons." The site reported by MSNBC was in Northern Iraq, near Iran, in the no-fly zone over which Saddam had no control. Thus, whatever and whoever were there, they were not an operation of Saddam's government.
