I am amazed. You are pretending that Saddam was unaware that infamous international terrorists like Abu Abbas and Abu Nidal were in his country. You're forced to defend his innonence by arguing his police state was too inefficient for him to know. How embarrassing it must be to have to rely on such a ludricious line of argumentation.

As for Yasin, a reporter for ABC saw him in Iraq in 1994. His neighbor told the reporter he worked for the Iraqi government. Not long before the war with Iraq, Iraqi authorities arranged an interview with Yasin for CBS. At this time, the Iraqis claimed he was in prison, though documents captured in Tikrit show he was on the government payroll all along.

Yet you have to insist that Saddam had no idea - I suppose Saddam was like Sgt Schultz on the old Hogans Heroes show - "I know nothing!"
