Has the Iraqi Mission to the UN plagiarized the CIA factbook information? No way! Look at this:

I was looking at the homepage of the Iraqi UN mission to see what sort of lies and terrorist propaganda they have on it. I went to the "Basic Facts" section to see what was there. What I saw looked familiar to me. So..I thought...Where have I seen this before...THE CIA WORLD FACTBOOK that's where! The Iraqi mission stole information that the CIA has about their country and used it as their own. They even used the same fonts at times. They don't even know this kind of information they themselves are supposed to be representing. This is not surprising as all they care about is themselves.
Now, see for yourself:
Go to their "Basic Facts" Section at: http://www.iraqi-mission.org/Basic.htm
And then go to the CIA factbook online, browse through the sections that mention the same facts and see it is very, very simlar and at times the exact same. Even the wording of how their flag looks like is the same!
Here is the Iraqi entry in the CIA factbook: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/iz.html
TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; Foreign Affairs; Miscellaneous; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: cia; factbook; iraq; unmission

Always keep both eyes open and listen with both ears. Each side has their own song to sing.

The reference to Saddam as a "scum sucking, camel licking, dung dwelling cockroach" immediately gives away the source. Clearly the CIA stole it from the Iraqis.

How do you know that the CIA didn't plagiarize the Iraqi UN Mission I don't begrudge your skepticism, but it's unlikely the Iraqis would state the UNSC resolutions that they're NOT complying with.

The RATS are bitching about some background material that the UK lifted from a report on the Iraqi Intelligence structure.

...but it's unlikely the Iraqis would state the UNSC resolutions that they're NOT complying with.All good plagiarists add some original content. (And for the record, I don't really think the CIA is plagiarizing here.)
