Mr. Hayes, of The Weekly Standard, is the author of "The Connection: How al Qaeda's Collaboration with Saddam Hussein Has Endangered America," recently published by HarperCollins.

The irony that X42 had to make a strong case of how dangerous Saddam Hussein was to negate the 'wag the dog' comments being made the world over. He was fighting the monica scandal and everyone distrusted him and his motives.

IMO, 1/2 the population are ignorant of the protocol that takes place when an incoming President meets with the ex-Pres. and his cabinet. Before January, there are meetings to clue the new man in on what big issues are going on in the world. And these are not photo ops for either man. But at those meetings, the outgoing administration is obligated to inform the incoming just where the nation stands with regard to possible security breaches, foreign communiques, CIA info, etc. As much as I disliked Bill Clinton on a personal level, and even though there was bitter feelings following the 2000 election, I don't believe Clinton would deliberately misinform or "under-inform" his replacement.

I watched Colin Powell on 20/20 last night. He said he had seen NO evidence of an Iraq link to 9-11.
