The Saddam Files

ON OCT. 29, 2002, a memo from Directorate 14 (in charge of special operations and “wet work” like assassinations) reported that “one of our sources in the United States, with a high level of reliability, says the CIA and the so-called opposition have a joint plan to bring ‘quislings’ to Iraq from the north and south to gather information and await future missions. Our informant will be one of them.” The memo suggests, disturbingly, that Saddam had a mole somewhere inside U.S. intelligence. Did he? Might he still? As the CIA’s legendary mole hunter James Jesus Angleton once said, espionage is a “wilderness of mirrors,” not least within spy services themselves, so it is hard to know. IIS agents routinely recycled old newspaper clips from foreign media and passed them off as secret reports from “informants of high reliability.” In a mid-2002 memo, the IIS chief reported that Saddam himself had ordered “a reassessment of our people abroad because information that the stations overseas send in are all in the public domain or from the media.”

Here is a question of something I've been unable to find, period - I'd like to see this picture from Time Magazine yesterday of the actual Iron Maiden found in Uday's torture chamber below the Iraqi Olympic building.

Mole in the US government? You have to be talking about the FBI, again. Just check the records to see which FBIers have been promoted in the past 10 years, have received maximum bonuses, and are not already in jail for foreign espionage. That should narrow the search some.
