Up to another 15 generals and colonels sit on a military sub-committee of a senior advisory council that meets twice a month with General John Battiste in Saddam's home province of Salahuddin, said spokesman Major Neal O'Brien.
Those who turn up, take home 100 dollars for each meeting, he added. A well-established network is also operational in Tamim province around the northern oil centre of Kirkuk and another in the adjacent Kurdish province of Sulaimaniya.

Why are they paying Saddam's generals? Aren't they as evil as Saddam? Why invade Iraq only to keep the same people in power? Why doesn't the media jump on this inconsistancy like they are all over the latest on Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, etc. stories? :puke:
