Because sharing sensitive information with such an amateurish, albeit ponderous "we know-it-all" secret service that don't mind about being instrumentalised by a ideological neocon government is a very dangerous thing for your network of informants.

But apparently it works just fine when it comes to supporting French designs on supporting a brutal dicatator in order to obtain billions of dollars worth of oil concessions.

And take a look at the people in the US who received oil allocations:

And take a look at who, amongst the Americans, received such allocations from Iraq, and what agenda they supported:

Shaker Al-Khaffaji (7 million barrels) advanced $400,000 to Scott Ritter, former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq. Ritter produced a documentary purporting to tell the true story of the weapons inspections, which in his telling were corrupted by sinister U.S. manipulation.

The question is Samir Vincent.. He appears to have been a "friend/supporter" of some Republicans. But he's definitely on the "black list" now, in light of his apparent ties to the Iraqi government.
