>>>Former generals of Saddams regime reinstated to new US-trained army

By Patrick Cockburn in Baghdad 23 April 2004

Iraqi generals who fought for Saddam Hussein are being reinstated to strengthen the new US-trained Iraqi army half of whose soldiers mutinied or went home during fighting earlier this month.

More than half a dozen generals from the old Iraqi army, dissolved by the US-led Coalition last May, have already been given jobs say American officials according to the US press. Former members of the Baath party will also be employed in the government.<<<

So Saddam wasn't such a bad fellow after all!
