care to guess how many criminals are harbored in this country? What happend to the Shah of Iran's people? What happened to the Phillipines Marcos' people? What happened to the former dictators of Vietnam's people? What happened to Cuba's Batista's people? Do you think we've had some bad apples in our nation? We know the people you mentioned are here, just like Saddamn knew about Zarqawi. You think Saddam's spy technology is up to par with ours? His technology isn't but he does run a Stalinist style police state beyond your imagining. About Saddam's police state here are few facts taken from a Ken Pollack's The Threatening Storm. A dozen security agencies spy on Iraqi citizens and each other, employing 500,000 people. Another 800,000 are in the army, which spies as well.
