It would not suprise me if the French had tried to do something like this. But there have been so many crazy rumors and false finds, that I think we should give this story 24 hours before we even touch it.

Post a link, or stop spreading rumors.
What makes you think Iraq has enough technical assests
to do such a thing!?!

You made this up didn't you....?

[anobjectivist]

If true...

This really needs to be put out more prominently. I expect the US to make a showcase out of the UN, France, Germany, Russia, China, and all of the other anti-american goons.

I demand the UN be dismantled.

Duct tape the phones to food aide trucks and see what happens? Any bad or evil act has an equally if not greater countermeasure.

Inmarsat deploys extra satellite in Middle East [excerpt]

http://finance.lycos.com/home/news/story.asp?story=32460813

WASHINGTON, March 18 (Reuters) - Global satellite communications company Inmarsat said on Tuesday it has deployed a fifth satellite to the Middle East region to handle the expected increased demand from the news media and aid agencies as a war in Iraq looms.

News organizations are one of the biggest users of the company's Global Area Network, which allows television networks like ABC, the BBC, NBC and CNN to connect videophones and run live broadcasts from the field.

...

Inmarsat, whose owners include big European telecommunications companies such as Britain's BT Group Plc (ISEL:BT), Deutsche Telekom , France Telecom (SBF:FTE) and Norway's Telenor (OSL:TEL), also provides satellite links for governments, including the United States, as well as aid agencies like the Red Cross.

This would not surprise me in the least.

It may not be that the Iraqis are able to track these phones so much as our own HARM missiles tracking them. Who wants an embedded reporter in their unit when he's using an "enemy" phone and thus attracting the attention of the local JSTARS?
