| Pentagon to finance intel collection by Iraqi opposition... |
| 2002-08-13 |
| The Bush administration has agreed to finance intelligence operations by the Iraqi opposition. Officials said the Iraqi National Congress would receive an unspecified budget for intelligence missions in Iraq. INC missions would be supervised by the Defense Department. The administration's decision would remove the State Department from overseeing many of the INC activities. Doesn't that stripe yer pants? The department had been holding up millions of dollars in funds to the Iraqi opposition amid a dispute over the use of the money. For two years, the INC was urging the administration to provide money for intelligence and sabotage missions. The State Department had refused. Looks like the first war that has to be won will be in Washington... |
