Dennis,

The Q-card is current intelligence, ain't it?

And those guys don't have it and need to put up that disclaimer every time they go before the media -- before they condemn this administration.

Thanks; and while I was searching, I came across this additional article by the same authors, in which the same authors state:

"If and when Saddam's regime crosses clearly drawn lines, particularly with regard to weapons of mass destruction and threats to other countries, the US should punish it severely."

Two more questions arise:

1. When precisely did their views change so drastically?
2. Did they get consulting contracts related to the Arab terror sponsors at the time this change occurred?
