During a private conference call with Capitol Hill aides from both parties on August 19, Senior Pentagon policy official William Luti said there are at least five or six foreign countries with traits that " no responsible leader can allow, " Time quoted sources as saying. An outspoken proponent of the Iraq war, Luti had declared at an October 2002 conference that the US has " the right to ... hold accountable nations that harbour terrorists, " Time said.
