The Iraqi resistance is no emerging "marriage of convenience," but rather a product of years of planning. Rather than being absorbed by a larger Islamist movement, Saddam's former lieutenants are calling the shots in Iraq, having co-opted the Islamic fundamentalists years ago, with or without their knowledge.

Just yesterday, the "secular" Saddam would have nothing to do with Al Qaeda. Now, Ritter says he's been an Islamist for ten years. Ten Years?!

There is no question that Ritter was on Saddam's payroll. That's been proven. The only question in my mind, is he still on Saddam's payroll? I would guess this article is conclusive. Who else is trying to prove that the Ba'athists are still in charge?

Thanks to his meticulous planning and foresight, Saddam's lieutenants are now running the Iraqi resistance, including the Islamist groups

Yah right. "meticulous planning and foresight". Saddam's fan club is small these days, but Ritter is in it. Ritter is working for the enemy in a time of war.
