	The Review - Mission: Baghdad
		Woolsey ticks off one damning fact after another to indicate that the balance of evidence is weighted very heavily against the opponents.
		Woolsey agrees with the view that Saddam remains a winner — and thus a magnet for anti-American sentiment and rallying — as long as he is not deposed.
		However, Woolsey sees the defeatism inherent in that statement as a self-fulfilling prescription for further failure, and he is quick to point out the example of other societies that were once deemed unlikely candidates for democracy.

	James Woolsey on the Iraq Crisis
		James Woolsey: He is probably quite prepared to hide and disperse the chemical weapons or precursor chemicals that he has, as well as the biological weapons, or the materials to make them.
		James Woolsey: I don't think there's any chance that the Israelis would launch an attack against Iraq without being attacked themselves, with one exception: if they had good enough intelligence to be certain that he was about to attack them with chemical or biological weapons.
		James Woolsey: The only thing I would add is that Saddam could make it harder for us to put in place a long term program to remove his regime by giving in, for some small face-saving device at this point.

	TOPDOG08.COM: Is James Woolsey setting Able Danger up to fail?
		James Woolsey was CIA Director from 1993 to 1995 under Bill Clinton and the neo-conservative hawk has gotten a lot of mileage as being bipartisan as a result, despite the fact that according to one source:
		Woolsey was so disliked by Clinton that when an apparent suicide pilot crashed a single-engine Cessna airplane on the south lawn of the White House in 1994, jokers suggested it might be the CIA director trying to get an appointment with the President.
		James Woolsey, President Clinton's CIA director from 1993 to 1995, said the decision not to pass the information to law enforcement agents was made before Sept. 11 and passage of the PatriotAct, which has expanded the government's ability to track terrorist threats inside the United States.

	You Don't Have to be Jewish to Be a Neo-con: John Bolton and James Woolsey
		Woolsey's friends—including Richard Perle, who served as assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan, and Paul Wolfowitz, the current under secretary of defense—are influential in securing appointments in both the U.S. government and in think tanks for their fellow neocons.
		Woolsey's two greatest challenges as director were to determine the punishment for Aldrich Ames, the CIA agent and longtime Soviet spy, and to establish some sort of working relationship with President Clinton.
		Woolsey related how Clinton was notoriously unpunctual to his daily CIA briefings and started the briefing when he chose to, which caused the punctual Woolsey soon to become utterly fed up.

	World War IV
		Woolsey, there’s been a lot of criticism of the CIA and its performance and calls for the resignation or the dismissal of George Tenet.
		James Woolsey: I’d kind of put the CIA in the pre-September 11th world at maybe a grade B and the FBI at kind of a B- and the rest of the country flunking.
		James Woolsey: Well, I think American opinion shifted decisively from moderately positive to rather negative about Saudi Arabia when it became clear that 15 of the 19 people who undertook the hijackings of September 11th were Saudi.

	The Radicalization of James Woolsey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		James Woolsey, director of central intelligence from 1993 to early 1995 and now a $440-an-hour Washington corporate lawyer, customarily conducts business in boardrooms and similarly well-appointed venues.
		Once inside, Woolsey was quickly exposed to the murkier side of life at the C.I.A. Not long after his arrival, he was briefed on Aldrich Ames, a veteran case officer who had been blithely betraying agents to the Russians since 1985.
		For two years, Woolsey had been eloquent in denouncing the "blithering incompetence" of the I.N.S., which behaved "as if it were plucked from Pinochet's Chile." Now, in cross-examination by Woolsey and his fellow counsel, it emerged that all along, in the background, the C.I.A. had been pulling the strings.

		Woolsey began by stating his conviction that the war on terrorism was the successor to the three World Wars of the Twentieth Century (the third being the Cold War).
		Woolsey asked the audience to imagine the Spain of Ferdinand and Isabela possessing twenty-five per cent of the world’s oil and giving Torquemada and the Inquisition license to spread their doctrines abroad, preaching hate for Jews, Christians and those who disagreed with them.
		Woolsey answered that question by quoting a Washington, D.C., cab driver who said, “They don’t hate us for what we've done wrong but for what we do right.” Freedom itself is the threat they see to their own values.

		Woolsey: Well, there are indications of at least three: two in which he got inside Prague, and one in which he got inside the airport and had to go back.
		Woolsey: He was captured in Pakistan after having had his operation to blow up twelve American airliners, and perhaps one of the twelve be flown into the C-I-A headquarters -- there’s some dispute about that.
		Woolsey: Well, there were three countries that weaponized anthrax in a sophisticated manner: grinding the spores to a very small, one to three micron size, so they would be inhaled properly; developing various coatings, silicon and others, so that they would not stick together.

	Asia Times
		To Woolsey's mind, the US is already engaged in what he and many of his fellow neoconservatives call "World War IV", a struggle that pits the US and Britain against Islamist and Wahhabi extremists like al-Qaeda's Osama bin Laden, Iranian theocrats, and Ba'ath Party "fascists" in Syria and Iraq.
		Woolsey even suggested that Saddam was behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center towers and the anthrax-bearing letters sent to various lawmakers after September 11, and that US intelligence agencies could not find the connection because they lacked sufficient imagination.
		Still, Woolsey insists that he opposes a clash of civilizations and that he is counting on the empowerment of silent majorities throughout the Arab world to see the value of allying themselves with Washington.

	An interview with geo-green James Woolsey, former head of CIA \| By Amanda Griscom Little \| Grist Magazine \| Main Dish \| ...
		Former Pentagon heavies are not known for their breezy candor, so it's a rare treat to come across one who voluntarily describes himself as a tree-hugger, do-gooder, sodbuster, and cheap hawk, all rolled into one.
		Over the course of a dozen years, Woolsey held presidential appointments in two Republican and two Democratic administrations, including one stint as undersecretary of the Navy and another as director of the Central Intelligence Agency under President Clinton, from 1993 to 1995.
		Woolsey spoke to Grist's Amanda Griscom Little by cell phone late last month about the clean technologies that get him fired up, the downsides of dependency on Saudi oil, and life on his solar-powered farm.
