>>But Pollack argues the stupidity is structural rather than personal. It's a problem of information flow.<<

My understanding is that Saddam has a strong tendency to shoot the messenger, so people are justifiably reluctant to tell him what he doesn't want to hear.

Thus, he's not only evil, but crazy, and stupid.

If I were an evil dictator, I'd still want people to tell me the truth.
