Keep in touch with what our military "leaders" might have in store in the
next phase of the "war on terrorism."  
Tonight at 9pm on Frontline on PBS (WILL-TV locally):
"Gunning For Saddam"
As Americans are confronted by acts of bioterrorism, powerful forces in the
nation's capitol believe Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is to blame for this
and many other terrorist acts during the last decade. Many are lobbying to
mobilize a military operation to oust Hussein when the next phase of the war
on terrorism kicks in. Proponents of the plan, including former Clinton
administration CIA director James Woolsey, contend Hussein was involved in
the first World Trade Center bombing, the attempted assassination of
President George H.W. Bush in 1993, and the ongoing state sponsorship of
terrorist activities. Foes of this plan argue that attacking Hussein will
destabilize other nations in the region, most prominently Saudi Arabia, and
no doubt destroy the carefully crafted coalition presently hunting for Osama
bin Laden in Afghanistan. FRONTLINE investigates America's other enemy,
Saddam Hussein.
