Murdock said on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews on September 16, 2007, that he believes Saddam Hussein was involved in perpetrating the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on America. Murdock cited the holding in Smith v. Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, 262 F. Supp. 2d 217,[10] a federal case heard by U.S. District Judge Harold Baer Jr. who found that Hussein's Baathist government and the Taliban assisted Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda in the September 11 attacks and ruled that the defendants, including Hussein’s Iraq, were jointly and severally liable for civil damages to the families of two killed in a September 11 attack.
