Probers suspect that former CIA Director William Casey played a dominant role in Iranscam, despite his proclaimed ignorance of the scheme. Casey, who underwent surgery for a brain tumor last December, resigned in January, and his physicians have maintained that he is unfit to testify.

Those who know the Judge well insist that he is the best man for the job, but for reasons that may not go down well with those agency types who are used to skirting the law to get things done. "They're bound to feel a little besieged at the CIA right now," said former Attorney General Griffin Bell, who recruited Webster for the FBI post. "The FBI felt...
