Kumar, The fact is that most of this information is derived from classified means. If it is shared, it will be shared with the intelligence agencies of participating coalition members, or via formal channels. I, for one, have believed that too much information is classified, and that more should be made available for public consumption. But it's like a police investigation, with your confidential informants and use of special surveillance, which you don't want your target to be aware of until you've amassed incontrovertible evidence. Which is why I mention the Quds Force. It reports directly to the "Supreme Guide" (supposedly), but it has serious support from Ahmadinejad's government. They are essentially the "covert arm" of the IRGC, responsible for foreign conduct of the Government's agenda. The Irbil raid in early January netted the most significant evidence, as well as a senior member of the Iranian Qods Force. Six Iranians were detained in Irbil, including Mohsin Chizari, the operational commander of the Qods Force, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps specialized force that is equivalent to U.S. Special Forces. During the Irbil raid, "the Iranians were caught trying to flush documents down the toilet," and "bags of their hair were found... indicating they had tried to change their appearance." Chizari was "apprehended after slipping back into Iraq after a 10-month absence." Earlier it was reported Chizari was detained in the Baghdad raid, and subsequently released. billroggio.com Hawk
