| Saddam’s victims warn USA about ’enemies’ posing as allies |
| 2004-06-10 |
| Torture victims of Saddam Hussein are warning the United States that their former tormentors are seeking new positions in Iraq by working with authorities in the U.S.-led occupation. "Those are the enemies of the U.S. and of Iraq, the same people who burn the bodies of Americans," said Salah Zinad, 38...Basim Al Fadhly, a journalist at an Iraqi television station, said the problem is that Saddam’s henchmen are working with U.S. forces, in part because the American military doesn’t have adequate knowledge of their backgrounds and histories. The torturers change their identifications and addresses to avoid detection, Mr. Al Fadhly said. He said a former member of Saddam’s Ba’ath Party leads a workers’ group inside the Green Zone, the protected area in central Baghdad that houses the U.S. military and occupation forces. This is not good. |

| #6 Polygraph tests are a superstition. They're like cold reading - both methods rely on sharp, perceptive operators. There's a reason they're not accepted as evidence in court in any sane jurisdiction. |

| #4 I must assume there is a mechanism to report this kind of information to the coalition authorities. I suggest the 'victims' use it. I assume the victims-there's no need to put the word in parentheses, it's fact- have warned coalition troops, but they see no change in US policy. I suggest you should read the whole article -I cut & pasted only a bit. This is just more of the media harping on their 'why isn't everythng perfect' theme. This article appeared in the Washington Times, which we know is a WH friendly media source. For that reason, I suspect there's little spin involved in this article. Advice is not carping, it's advice and should not be dismissed because it's not cheerleading. |

| #3 This is just more of the media harping on their 'why isn't everythng perfect' theme. Given the frequent references to 'intelligence tips' I must assume there is a mechanism to report this kind of information to the coalition authorities. I suggest the 'victims' use it. |
