Witch Hunt?
(Washington Times) Frank J. Gaffney Jr. - Today, anti-Semitic witch hunts can be dressed up as ideological conflicts between the Bush administration's so-called "hard-liners" and "moderates." To be sure, there are those in the U.S. government - notably, in the State Department and CIA - who have profound policy disagreements with key Defense Department decision-makers, particularly about the magnitude of the danger from the Iranian regime and how best to counter it. This has been particularly true since President Bush's State of the Union declaration after September 11, 2001, that Iran was part of the "axis of evil." Simply writing off the attacks to bureaucratic rivalry obscures the fact that Mr. Bush has made clear his own views about the Iranian mullahocracy.
