February 6, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - An incredible array of satellites, high-speed supercomputers and other secret space-age technology helped catch Iraqi military commanders deceiving U.N. weapons inspectors, U.S. intelligence officials said last night.

New York Post reports:   "The info was gleaned by deep-cover moles burrowed in the bowels of Iraqi government ministries..."

These have got to be some of the bravest and most foolhardy people on the face of this earth. I can't even begin to imagine the balls it takes to be a deep-cover mole for U.S. intelligence in Iraq. The long arm of the counter intelligence branch of the Iraqi Intelligence Service is so vicious, pervasive and omnipresent that there is little wonder how they came by their reputation as being so terribly successful.

My hat's off to these brave few.

What worries me are the deep cover guys burrowed into cities throughout Europe and North America. The Algerian who stabbed and killed the Manchester Policeman had been in the UK for over 4 years and nobody knew. See Atta and his gang etc.,

I think one difference is, that the moles we have in Iraq will lead to the complete and utter destruction of Iraq and Saddam Hussein. While the moles that he has placed over here, have no such comparable ability. Yeah, they'll sting us, but that's the risk you take when you go to war. Living on our knees is NOT an option.
