    Carl Cameron just reported that the attack on the restaurant in the Mansoor (SP?) neighborhood may have been the result of false communications issued by Iraqi counter-intelligence who were testing the security of their communicatioins.

    Maybe maybe not. Way to protect your citizenry oh esteemed Iraqi Regime.... :confused:

    Not that it really matters, but Cameron works for Fox News!

    Hmm..

    So the reports (mostly from British media, I believe) that the informants:

    1) Saw saddam enter the restaurant
    2) Overheard discussions about leaving Iraq
    3) Had 'bugs' in the restaurant that picked-up saddam

    ...may all be bogus?

    I am more inclined to think they were operating off human intel rather than stolen communications but who knows? Maybe it's CYA.
