U.S. recruiting Hussein's spies.

[Crav]

I really couldn't think of a good title so I used the one for the article. So we plan to show the Iraqis we are there to liberate them by putting back into place the tools that helped repress them? I know the article says that most of the recruits are from the foreign intelligence division, but it still makes you wonder on how many other of Hussein's resources we have tapped. It's starting to remind me of the 80s counter democratic activities supported by the U.S.

I read an article awhile ago about how the US re-opened the most infamous prison in Baghdad and immediately started rounding up people and throwing them inside. It was apparently bad juju for them to use that particular prison because it had a bad reputation for torture chambers and people getting thrown in it and never coming out.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

We did the same thing after WWII. Rounded up SS officers, and had them work for us to spy on russians. Basically paying war criminals to come work for us!

Yea but we should have rounded up all the German military and turn them on Russia! Yea, Hitler killed 11 million and the world still talks about it today, Stalin killed 30 million and is rarely mentioned...

Stalin should have gotten owned for what he did in WW2. Unfortunately he still had a million and a half troops and about ten thousand tanks when Germany surrendered and nobody really felt like going after him.

Japan made special deals to get out of paying for their WW2 atrocities by sharing information with the US about their chemical weapon research.
