Thanks for posting that article, I remember reading it and wondering about the reference to the stolen notebook. I still wonder about that.

Howlin, yes in Iraq. I don't know about this guy Aziz. I had read earlier that he was the guy who was speaking at Chamber of Commerce type events trying to get investors into Iraq. This article seems to say that he was a contact provided at one of these kind of events.

I also seem to remember that one of the questions of Berg (when last detained) was something about Iran and pipe bombs. Does anyone else recall that? (I am at the office so I don't have my bookmarks with me. I can try to look it up later.) But it's a little interesting given the Chalabi allegations and this Aziz character who similarly advocated the overthrow of Saddam with some amount of credibility with the US government.

Yes.

If y'all watched Fox news much before the war, you probably remember Aziz. I do, vividly. I was so proud of him. He was on fox, and on talk radio everywhere telling people how much Iraqis like him supported Bush & the war to oust Saddam.

Turns out he had a few things in his background that weren't to be proud of - guess he was a bit overzealous in his "capitalism" lol... the crack vial sale and sales of counterfeit CDs from his store.

Yes, Nick mentioned the Iran thing and the pipe-bomb question in an e-mail. It's on my page.
