A hat tip to the Command Post ( http://216.134.209.67/~command/ ) for the link to this article which is too long to post in its entirety, and too revealing to excerpt.
Like the Nazis and all good totalitarians, Saddamâs Baathist henchmen kept records. Last week, at the Baghdad headquarters of the Mukhabarat, the secret police, an Iraqi man went up to photographers from NEWSWEEK and the Los Angeles Times carrying a bulging, grimy white rice sack. âTell the world what happened here,â he said. Inside were more than 200 cassette tapes, videos and passports, photographs and negatives, CDs and floppy disks, as well as a fat binder thick with documents addressed TO THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE IRAQI INTELLIGENCE SERVICE. |
