If anybody saw -- or sees this on C-Span tonight, please describe Ari's demeanor. Get the feeling he was in a big rush to dismiss the subject.

A month or so ago I recall reading that Congressman McCollam (FL) denied any knowledge of the ME connections to OKC.

p.s. He's lying, and if I'm not mistaken he was one of Bodansky's bosses.

Get the feeling he was in a big rush to dismiss the subject.

Kind of like when he was asked about the bentonite on the anthrax, you mean?

"It is protection for Saddam to have biological and chemical weapons, because, in the final analysis, if pressed, if he is surrounded in Baghdad, he will threaten to use them. He's capable of that. This is a sort of Samson complex--if you push me too hard, I'll bring the house down, on myself and on everyone else. Washington realizes that this is a possibility. For obvious reasons, it's not talked about openly. No one in Washington wants to tell the American people that Saddam is still capable of blackmailing us. They're acting as if he is capable of blackmailing them, but they are not going to admit it openly."
