As President Bush continues to forge an alliance against terrorism, there is some disagreement over whether Iraq should be a target of the coalition. Senator Jesse Helms says he thinks Iraq will be a target. Israel’s chief of military intelligence disputes that, saying there is no evidence that Iraq was involved in the attacks of September 11th.

Guests:

Laurie Mylroie, author of “The Study of Revenge” and publisher of Iraq News, an online news service
