The French government denied the charges, but a Syrian employee of the French embassy in Damascus claimed that eight Iraqi officials from the oil and finance ministries had been given passports in the middle of April. "The commercial section of the embassy received passports for eight Iraqi officials and members of their families," he said. He claimed that Paris also ordered that a passport issued for Tahir Jalil al-Habbush, a former head of Iraq's Mukhabarat intelligence service who is on America's wanted list, should be cancelled soon after it had arrived. It remains unclear whether al-Habbush is in Syria.

I have this fantasy that special ops guys land and grab this guy if they have proof positive he is there, and tell Syria that if they don't hand over the balance, it will be an act of war. It is time to give the peacenik appeasers some to whine about. They have been too silent lately, and I miss them.
OK, it is time to wake up now.

blast from the past- France, passports, and escaping Iraqis
The French government denied the charges, but a Syrian employee of the French embassy in Damascus claimed that eight Iraqi officials from the oil and finance ministries had been given passports in the middle of April [2003]. "The commercial section of the embassy received passports for eight Iraqi officials and members of their families," he said.
