A New York Times report is claiming that some within the Pentagon now believe many of the attacks against US forces in Iraq have been carried out by members of Saddam Hussein’s secret service who planned the insurgency before the fall of Baghdad. One governmental official told the New York Times, “They carefully laid plans to occupy the occupiers. They were prepared to try and hijack the country. The goal was to complicate the stabilization mission, and democratization.” The Times admits it hasn’t seen the report that was prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency. Its based on reports by unnamed governmental officials who claimed to have seen it.
