Brad Delong kindly links to my post below and fixes up my presentation. I sure wish I wrote like that.

He also got Wolfowitz's testimony. Richard Clarke claims that, on April 30 2001, Wolfowitz asked why he was worrying about one little guy (Bin Laden) when the more serious issue was Iraqi terrorist attacks on the US. Clarke replied that there had been no Iraqi terrorist attacks after Clinton blew up Iraqi intelligence agency headquarters in response to Iraq's effort to kill the president's dad 8 years earlier.

Wolfowitz was asked about this by Roemer and replied at length stressing the point that he had not read the book, and wasn't the discussion something about Mein Kampf, and then uses this brilliant approach to refute the charge that he is insanely obsessed with an unfounded belief that Saddam Hussein was a master terrorist up until the invasion

"... as a reason why we should take threatening rhetoric seriously, particularly in the case of terrorism and Saddam Hussein."

Actually I'm not sure I should use the past tense. Maybe Wolfowitz is convinced that Saddam Hussein is masterminding terrorism from his prison cell.
