I asked myself, why is Africa getting so much attention, all of a sudden?? Billy Clinton goes there after he visited Indian Country and made promises he never intended to keep and talked of a GATT for Africa. A model of the Global Agreement on Trades and Tariffs that wrecked the Mexican economy overnight by dramatically de-valuing the peso and placed thousands of American industrial workers on the SSI line at their nearest welfare office. Then there was the medicine factory he had destroyed for making aspirin that they were previously purchasing from U.S. big pharma and the ban he inacted via the WTO preventing the sale and distribution of generic HIV/AIDS medications from nations like India in Africa and, never mind.

And since The Decider has been on the throne, he has stationed American forces in North Africa supposedly to hunt down bin-Laden and he fellows. So this is no surprise that the U.S. is covertly using Sudan to gather data in Iraq. They have always used their prison system for "extreme renditions" so why not use some of their agents where White men fear to tread? - The Angryindian

CIA uses Sudanese intelligence in Iraq: "At the same time as the United States has imposed sanctions and is putting pressure on Khartoum to accept a United Nations peacekeeping force in Darfur, the CIA is relying on Sudan’s intelligence service to carry out spying activities in Iraq.

In a June 11 article in the Los Angeles Times, anonymous US intelligence officials and ex-officials explained that the Sudanese intelligence service, the Mukhabarat, had assembled a network of informants in Iraq providing information on the insurgency. The officials declined to say whether Sudanese agents were actually inside Iraq, but claimed that informants could have been recruited as they passed through Khartoum.

“If you’ve got jihadists travelling via Sudan to get into Iraq, there’s a pattern there in and of itself that would not raise suspicion,” said a former high-ranking CIA official. “It creates an opportunity to send Sudanese into that pipeline.”

A second ex-official is reported as saying, “There’s not much that blond-haired, blue-eyed case officers from the United States can do in the entire Middle East, and there’s nothing they can do in Iraq. Sudanese can go places we don’t go. They’re Arabs. They can wander around.”"

Thanks, angryindian. This is a very interesting notion--and one that I wouldn't doubt for a second. I imagine practices like these are centuries old. Great work!
