The Los Angeles Times reported in July 2006 that Senior US military officials described US policy towards the Interior Ministry as confused and disengaged. One senior official who asked not to be identified said US police trainers "sit up there on the 11th floor of the ministry building... they're just doing nothing. The MOI (Ministry of the Interior) is the most broken ministry in Iraq."
"I go into the Interior Ministry in Baghdad and I see lots and lots of armed men wearing black leather," Robert Fisk, Middle East correspondent for the British newspaper The Independent, said in a 2006 ABC Australia interview.
"Who is paying these guys? Well, we are, of course. The narrative that we're getting - that there are death squads and that the Iraqis are all going to kill each other, the idea that the whole society is going to commit mass suicide - is not possible, it's not logical. There is something else going on in Iraq."
We hear in the film, Zeitgeist:
"If you wish to destroy an area, how do you do it? Well there are two ways – you can go in there and bomb it and so forth but that is not very efficient, what you do is try to get the people in that area to kill each other and to destroy their own territory, their own farms... The way in which you destroy an opponent is get him to destroy himself, by dividing his ranks against one another. Then you feed both sides- you have agents feeding both sides; inflaming both sides."
In 2005, two British SAS elite Special Forces agents were arrested and detained by Iraqi police after being caught driving around in their car shooting at Iraqi civilians, while dressed up as Arabs.
The Interior ministry ordered the immediate release of the captured men. When the Basra government refused, British tanks backed up by helicopters burst through the Iraqi jail walls and freed the SAS agents.
The Boston Globe claims President Bush has broken 750 laws since he took office. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush on June 9, 2008 including:
Article 1
CREATING A SECRET PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN TO MANUFACTURE A FALSE CASE FOR WAR AGAINST IRAQ;
