#1 In NI the informers mostly did it for money (and sometimes to keep themselves or a family member out of jail) and I suspect this is the case in Iraq.

#7 This is actually old news. The Rantburgers had an article about the British contribution to task force black. At that time the article mentioned British soldiers dressed in American uniforms to look less conspicuous in Baghdad.
