This seems a little odd, as I thought Woolsey was in the Wolfowitz/Rumsfeld camp. Also a little ironic, given Safire's frequent role as a leak conduit. Who knows. After reading Safire's column, I went off to the Edward Jay Epstein site and found this: edwardjayepstein.com

Conspiracy theorists will find that site entertaining for other reasons. The Angleton saga is quite a story, and anybody in a position to tease the truth out of that one probably would never state it publicly, on penalty of extreme prejudice.

If the report proves accurate, a connection would exist between Al Qaeda's murder of 3,000 Americans and Iraq's Saddam. That would clearly be a casus belli, calling for our immediate military response, separate from the need to stop a demonstrated mass killer from acquiring nuclear and germ weapons.

Errr, what?

Assuming, for the sake of the argument, that Atta did in fact meet with Ahmed el-Ani, this is a "casus belli"?
