Wolfowitz has asked former CIA director R. James Woolsey to look for that evidence. If he finds it, one scenario has the U.S. going to allied Arab governments and presenting them with a clear operational plan for taking out Saddam. "They would basically be asked to salute," says a U.S. official. "What the U.S. would have to guarantee is that it be over quick and that it would work...
...tests to "flutter" agents every five years to search out misbehavior. Those tests are controversial, and Freeh has resisted using them, despite pressure from his own National Security Division managers to do so ever since the 1994 debacle. There must be "a happy medium," says former CIA chief Jim Woolsey, between overzealous, career-destroying tests and the FBI's lax ways. Why wasn't Hanssen caught even when he regularly ran his own name and particulars through CBI computers?

"The Russians are still operating very much in a cold war world," says former CIA chief James Woolsey...

A congressionally mandated commission followed, recommending that the U.S. consider sanctions against Athens for its "disturbingly passive response" to terrorism. R. James Woolsey, former CIA chief and a member of the terror commission, testified after the report's release that though Greece had been given "substantial information" on 17 November, and had gathered much of its own, it had failed to act. Woolsey even broached a taboo topic in Greece--the fate...
