If I remember correctly, Woolsey now believes that we are currently
in the midst of the Third World War, against terrorism.

Woolsey was one of two people I saw interviewed one after the other (James Baker was the second) on the morning of 9/11 before the towers collapsed who said the attack was the result of the CIA being hamstrung by rules that resulted from the Church Committee (i.e., no more assassinations, less "humint".) I thought it strange they were both reading from the same script, and so soon.

The newsman, Jennings, I think, didn't bother to ask about Woolsey's
own terrorism against American elders... he was under federal
scrutiny for fraud in his chain of convalescent homes at the time.
