I have heard that the Iraqis are meticulous record keepers. I doubt if they have enough shredders for this job.

[Thud]

You assume that the copies the Iraqis are giving to the Frogs are the only copies. SOP in this situation is to keep copies to sell to anyone who might be interested, such as us. While swearing up and down to the French that they have exclusive rights.

Furthermore the SOP is for the Iraqis to fabricate more documents implicating not merely the French, the Albanians, the Belgians, the Czechs, the Dutch, the Ethiopians, the Germans, the Hungarians, etc., up to the Zambians (I don't know if any country's name begins with the letter "Y", though).

Why should the Iraqis involved tell the French the truth? How can they trust the French to keep their promises of asylum, etc.? And stop laughing.
