"Syrian spy admits role in Iraqi Beheadings"
Iraqi TV Airs Tape of Purported Confession

By MAGGIE MICHAEL

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The Syrian intelligence officer who appeared on the U.S.-funded Iraqi state television station had a stark message about the insurgency - he'd helped train people to build car bombs and behead people.

``My name is Anas Ahmed al-Essa. I live in Halab. I am from Syria,'' he said by way of introduction - naming what he said was his home in Syria. Halab is another name for Aleppo, a city north of Damascus.

``What's your job?'' he was asked by someone off-camera. ``I am a lieutenant in intelligence.''

Then a second question. ``Which intelligence?'' The reply: ``Syrian intelligence.''

Hey..."in" for spring '05: a new line of propaganda to support military action towards TWO countries at once. It's looks best if you accessorize with a complete dismantling of the Constitution.

2. Bush will claim he also works for North Korea
I wonder how much torture it took before they got this "confession" from him.
