Executive summary: Prominent neocon Gaffney worked in the Reagan administration as Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary under Richard Perle (1983-87). After leaving government, he founded the Center for Security Policy, a prominent conservative think tank.
Considered a contender for George Tenet's job as Director of Central Intelligence, Gaffney expressed the need to eradicate Saddam Hussein's WMDs during a January 2003 CNN interview:
I simply disagree that there's no evidence of involvement between Saddam and acts of terror in this country. There is considerable evidence of it. The case needs to be prosecuted. [...] But the larger message is unmistakable. Saddam Hussein's influence is real and is growing in this region, if we allow him to gain access to weapons of mass destruction beyond those he already has. The nuclear weapons in particular. That influence will metastasize even further and be vastly more destabilizing than the act we need to take, which is to liberate the Iraqi people.
