The only thing in this story that is disturbing to me is the sharing of intelligence with the Saddam regime.+++

I very doubt it sharing. I would like to see some more solid prof then some media report.

Media reports are all we'll ever get. No intelligence agency is going to give us their raw data to examine.

Look, Russia is up to its eyeballs in Iraq. Most of it was perfectly permissible under the UN sanctions, etc. But, it's becoming obvious, even to the disinterested observer, that Russia also had a stake in preserving the Saddam Hussein regime. That's not a crime, but there's no use in denying it, either.
