...Inquisition put them through an auto-da-fe, scoffed at the very idea, stressing their flexibility, reminding skeptics--how could anyone have thought otherwise?--that they have been multilateralists all along.

Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz took some heat last week when he appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee. The President had just announced that he needed $87 billion to finance postwar military operations--most of which, $66 billion, would fund the occupation and reconstruction of Iraq.

Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz had, in remarks on this year's 9/11 anniversary, reemphasized the allegation that Saddam "had a great deal to do with terrorism in general and with al Qaeda in particular" although he retracted days later, saying he had "misspoken" and offering a far more limited account of the relationship between...
