Mylroie and Woolsey blame the criminal justice system and the Clinton administration for not pursuing the Iraq connection. Prosecutors, not intelligence officers, controlled the WTC bombing investigation. They were interested in convicting the guilty, not in wading into a geopolitical swamp that could only muddy the evidence. So prosecutors never sufficiently investigated whether or not Ramzi Yousef was Abdul Basit. (Jim Fox, the FBI's New York director, shared Mylroie's belief that Iraq was behind the attacks, but his views were not embraced by prosecutors and other investigators.) And, Mylroie and Woolsey allege, the Clinton administration downplayed evidence of Iraqi involvement in order to avoid a war with Hussein. The administration did not want to deal with the repercussions of discovering that Iraq was waging a terror war against the United States.
