I'd be interested in seeing the substantial evidence. I haven't seen it yet. The Zarqawi leg-amputation-in-Baghdad connection story might have seemed substantial too, until the Berg video showed Zarqawi with two legs.
But my prior question stands. Why trumpet these links when there are much clearer connections to SA? Why is there not more outrage at the SA govt's links if people like you are spending the energy to argue that Iraq had similar, if less-clear, links? If your answer is that we need their oil, then I am quite disappointed that we could be bought so cheaply.

Your point on ass-covering is a fair one, though I'm not sure what cover Woolsey actually needs.

I'd say it's institutional ass-covering, since a portion of the evidence cited comes from Woolsey's time. But anyway, Woolsey hasn't really proven to be much of a Dem apologist, so my comment was just to point out a countervailing view of him besides "Dem appointee".
