"The state of fear, secret police and oppression has gone forever," said a jubilant Pachachi, a former foreign minister before Saddam came to power.

"I call on the Governing Council to declare this a national holiday," he added.

1. when Bush said the secret police are gone, I wondered

Was Bush lying?

Or does he read the newspapers so rarely and receive such bogus briefings that he doesn't know the US is restoring to power the Iraqui secret police?
