Much has been made of the proposition Iraq,under Saddam Hussein,was "strictly secular". Glancing at the captured Iraqi Intelligence Service documents , it is clear-though the regime may have been secular at one time-it had gotten pretty devout after the First Gulf War.
This is a list of captured documents released to the public today. There are two pages, one and one half of which are devoted to religious matters !
Now let's change the subject a bit.
The Iraqi regime was well aware they were unlikely to succeed in defending the nation once Operation Iraqi Freedom began ...so, they issued some top secret instructions.
This letter is in pdf format - one page long. ( It has already been translated.)
If any of the events that followed seem to match the scenario laid out in this letter, you are now better informed than most of the "journalists" now filing jihadist offerings from the safety of their Iraqi hotels.
