DETROIT (Reuters) - Two men from the Detroit area have been charged with spying for executed Iraq leader Saddam Hussein's intelligence service, according to federal court documents.
Najib Shemami and Ghazi Al-Awadi were indicted for giving the former government information about its enemies in the United States, and were freed on $10,000 bonds each after appearing in U.S. District Court in Detroit on Tuesday.

only two?
Freed on bond?
They were gone in 60 seconds.
Freed. Only only $10K! Unbelievable!
Spying is only worth a Ten grand bond??? What???
Spies should be executed. But so should be terrorists. Since we aren’t executing the latter, why expect any harder punishment for the first.
Freed. Only only $10K! Unbelievable!
It gets worse! Why was this guy left in this country?
From the article!
Al-Awadi, who has been in the United States since 1974 and lives on Social Security, was paroled from the Michigan Department of Corrections in 1996, after serving six years for manslaughter in the stabbing of his son-in-law.
I quit.
Amazing isn’t it?

Saddam-era Iraqi intelligence played a huge role in the Oklahoma City federal building bombing in 1995 (see Jayna Davis, The Third Terrorist (Nashville, TN: WND Books, 2004).
From the names of these guys and the Iraqi spy just convicted in Chicago, I suspect they are Assyrian Christians, as was Tariq Aziz. Most left after WWI and headed West. Those who remained often were closely aligned with Hussein’a Baathist party.
WTF???? Spies out on bond? It takes a village idiot to conduct war in this manner!
We'll never see them again.
According to Debbie Schlussel’s blog, one is a Muslim, the other a Christian.
Aha—So the Chicago one probably was Chaldean(Christian) and one of the two Detroit guys was, too. Just a reminder that all this is not jihadi madness,but standard state intel and we cannot ignore that.
As already pointed out one is Christian one is Muslim.
“Ghazi Al-Awadi” is definately a Muslim name.
Anyway whether “Jihadi” or “Baathi”... both are enemies and as spies they have to be punished harshly.
Please see my post # 12.
If they dont show I want that prosecutor and Judge thrown in jail.
