...programs]. I'm also not confirming it. We have to go by evidence. The Iraqis live in a tense situation. If there is something, they would be gambling not to present it.

(Bin Laden offered to fight against Saddam when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1991.) Complicating the fight is the fact that the spooks don't want to overlook evidence on Iraq--as they did with al-Qaeda--so they are trying to turn...
