Steve Clemons, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation think tank, has accused Woolsey of both profiting from and promoting the Iraq War.[16] Melvin A. Goodman, senior fellow at the Center for International Policy and former CIA division chief, told the Washington Post that "…Woolsey was a disaster as CIA director in the 1990s and is now running around this country calling for a World War IV to deal with the Islamic problem."[17][18]

In 2010, Woolsey supported the Oklahoma ban on Sharia law, recording a message aired for thousands of Oklahomans.[19] The law is controversial because it involves government intrusion into religion. Woolsey, along with co-authors such as former deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin and neoconservative activist Frank Gaffney, Jr., released a book entitled "Shariah: The Threat to America," published by the Center for Security Policy.[20] The book "describes what its authors call a 'stealth jihad' that must be thwarted before it's too late," and argues that "most mosques in the United States already have been radicalized, that most Muslim social organizations are fronts for violent jihadists and that Muslims who practice sharia law seek to impose it in this country."[20] According to the Washington Post, "Government terrorism experts call the views expressed in the center's book inaccurate and counterproductive."[20]

Woolsey was also criticized for his participation in the controversial films The Third Jihad and Iranium produced by the Clarion Fund

Different- this is James M Woosley - who is a thief and worked for ICE Intelligence -
The CIA director, who worked in DHS Intelligence, is a patriot
