Trust us

edwardpig commenting on the Pentagon-sponsored television station al-Iraqiya broadcasting propaganda videos;

"An unidentified Iraqi officer introduced the video, saying all insurgent groups in Iraq were covers for Syrian intelligence. He named a number of well-known groups, including one which has killed and beheaded foreigners."

Come again? All insurgents are a cover for Syrian intelligence? Including, for example, Moqtada al-Sadr? I would imagine that this was the point in the broadcast at which all Iraqis stopped listening.

Sh*t, there must be so many spooks running around this part of the world (better than Saddam's time, I'm sure) it'd be like a cross between Mad's Spy vs Spy and an inverted Where's Wally.

Do you suppose cat-burglars have kick-arse security on their own homes? I doubt they hold much trust in others.
