Bremer Survived Bagdad Convoy Attack
Bremer survived Baghdad convoy attack

Revelation of shooting raises fear of coalition infiltration as violence grows between Sunnis and Shias

Rory McCarthy in Baghdad and Julian Borger in Washington
Saturday December 20, 2003

"Officials in Baghdad denied a US report that the CPA and the Iraqi security services had been infiltrated by agents feeding information to the insurgents. According to the report by ABC News, documents found in Saddam Hussein's briefcase included a list of Iraqis who had been working for the US authorities. It quoted one American official as saying that "we were badly infiltrated". Officials in Baghdad said that the vetting process used by the CPA was effective in filtering would-be infiltrators. "

Th infiltration angle is troubling

2. hah!
Officials in Baghdad said that the vetting process used by the CPA was effective in filtering would-be infiltrators.

In a place as chaotic and lawless as Iraq, how can you NOT be infiltrated?

3. Apparently ABC was with him all day
and this was after an "unscheduled" stop and it happened on the way back to quarters. Where was ABC then???? Why is it just NOW in the news?? Since when does Bremer not follow a heavily protected "script" for his day to prevent just this sort of thing???? I find this very curious - especially the time lag between the event and the news of it.

4. He is a hero
Has anyone checked with the rummy about what "really" happened. I bet he fought to the last bullet and had lots of injuries and got raped and stuff.
