I generally go through the pre-war Intelligence Services documents every day, looking for ones already translated/already in English.
It's pretty dull reading as a rule, but I had to laugh when I saw this Nigerian E Mail-apparently sent to Saddam himself-who to his Intelligence Service to be translated.
I wonder how much the Butcher of Baghdad got conned out of !
Nigerian Scam E mail Received by Saddam Hussein

BARRISTER: TOM BELLO Esq.

Attn.: The President/CEO
I am Dr. (Mrs.) Maryam Abacha, wife to the late Nigeria Head of State - General Sani Abacha. I am proposing this business to you because we could be of great assistance to each other, likewise developing a cordial business relationship. I currently have within my reach the sum of Twenty-Five Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$25,600,000:00) cash which I intend to use for investment purpose specifically in your country.
This money came as a result of a pay back contract deal between my late husband and a Russian firm on our country’s Multi-billion Dollars Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russian partners returned my husband’s share of US$25.6 million after his death and lodged it with my husband’s security firm in Nigeria of which I am a director.
Right now, the new civilian government has revoked our licenses that allow us to own a financial and oil company. In view of this, I acted very fast to withdraw the US$25.6 million from the company’s vault will preserved and packaged in trunk boxes and deposited it in ECOWAS Security Bank.
I have since declared our security company bankrupt. No record ever existed concerning the many neither is the money traceable by the government because there is no document showing that we received the money from the Russians.
Due to the current situation in the country concerning the government attitude towards my family, it has become quite impossible for me to make use of the money within, thus I seek your assistance to move the money out of this country.
On your consent, I shall expect you to contact me urgently to enable us to talk in detail about this transaction. Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund.
Your urgent response is highly needed.
All correspondences must be channeled to our legal adviser thus:
Barrister Tom Bello Esq

I must also use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost diligence to keep this transaction a confidential issue.
You can also contact me directly at my secret confidential email address if there is need.
Thanks and God bless you.

Saddam was probably looking for someone to help HIM smuggle out millions from the treasury.
So THAT"S what he was planning to do with all that money:
March 2003 Document: Saddam Orders Iraq Central Bank to Give his Son 1 Billion Dollars (Translation)
So now the question is, who sold Saddam's e-mail address to the spammer who sold it to this guy in Nigeria? What did Bush know and when did he know it? Doesn't giving your e-mail address to a spammer constitute torture under the Geneva Convention? Someone call John McCain and Lindsey Graham quick! Get the New York Times on this!
I thought Saddam got that money by responding to all the credit card applications he no doubt got every day, given his exemplary credit rating.
Speaking of Nigerian emails, does anyone remember this?
