Who was the U.N.Inspector compromised??
Wolfowitz speech transcript | 1-23-03 | Dog

Posted on 01/23/2003 12:41:45 PM PST by Dog

In the 1990s, there were reports that Iraqi intelligence recruited U.N. inspectors as informants, and that Iraqi scientists were fearful about being interviewed. Recent reports that Iraq continues these kinds of efforts are a clear sign that it is not serious about disarmament.

Today, we also anticipate that Iraq is likely to target U.N. and IAEA computer systems through cyber intrusions to steal inspections, methods, criteria, and findings. We know that Iraq certainly has the capability to do so. According to Khidhir Hamza's book, Saddam's Bombmaker, Iraq's Babylon Software Company was developing cyber warfare capabilities on behalf of the Iraqi Intelligence Service as early as the 1990s. Some people assigned to Babylon were segregated into a "highly compartmented unit" and tasked with breaking into foreign computers in order to download sensitive data. Some of the programmers reported that they had accumulated sufficient expertise to break into moderately protected computer systems, such as those used by the inspectors.

Intimidation and Coercion: In the past, Iraq did not hesitate to use pressure tactics to obtain information about the inspectors. Often the pressure was quite crude. During the UNSCOM period, one inspector was reportedly filmed in a compromising situation and blackmailed.

Why don't we care anymore?

Maybe its a good time to hear Scottie squeal like a pig ! Think about it though. Who better to bring anthrax into the US then a UN WMD inspector ? If he got caught he would have an alibi - 'I was taking it to the US to get it analyzed.'

Just speculating of course.

Dog, Lucianne.com today has a little tidbit about this. She says intelligence sources say Saddam's secret police have videotape of Ritter in compromising situation and thus the radical turnaround regarding his position on Iraq's WMD.

See what a beautiful thing this is? A Saddam asset, Ritter has been transformed into the pedophile pied piper of the peaceniks, leading them off a cliff to political oblivion. Strategery!

Truly artistic. The poster boy for the "reasonable anti-war movement" has been castrated (OK, if only!) perhaps days before the strikes begin. And the only dirty hands are his own.

Oh, it's much more than a shot in the dark. Bush gave the order last week. Time to take Ritter down.

I wonder how good the chances are that we have now gotten a copy of the blackmail film. Love to see it on CNN.

There's also the reports of a blanket $1,000,000 award to any of the inspectors that would "fix" inspections for Iraq. It has been reported that at least one inspector (unnamed) took the offer.

Thanks for posting this.

A little earlier, copycat, gave me this link re the pervert err the UN inspector who was compromised.

When I went to the link, it became very credible when I read who said it and as part of his speech to this group.

This from Lucianne's site today in her short takes: "It's being suggested in intelligence circles that Saddam's secret police have a drawer full of tapes and photos collected when he was "in country."
