Sudan is secret partner of U.S.
Khartoum supplies information to the CIA on insurgents in Iraq

Originally published June 11, 2007

Washington // Sudan has secretly worked with the CIA to spy on the insurgency in Iraq - an example of how the United States has continued to cooperate with the Sudanese regime even while condemning its role in the killing of tens of thousands of civilians in Darfur.

President Bush has condemned the killings in Darfur as genocide and has imposed sanctions on Sudan's government. But some critics say the administration has soft-pedaled the sanctions to preserve its extensive intelligence collaboration with Sudan.

"Intelligence cooperation takes place for a whole lot of reasons," said a U.S. intelligence official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity when discussing intelligence assessments. "It's not always between people who love each other deeply."

1. it isn't complex realities of Post 911 its just the same old SHIT..what can they tell us about Iraq?

this is just BULLSHIT... the Fascist Corporate Military Complex just sides with the worst Psychopathic dictators they can find, and if they cant find one they install one. they are just spinning why they are there and have been form the beginning.. i wouldn't be supprised if the genocide wasnt the NeoCon's idea from the beginning, i wouldnt put anything past them, since the secret of the oil leaked out.

6. As soon as I read this headline I said "that explains it"

Not that * would have helped the poor people of Darfur anyway, but knowing that he is in bed with the Sudanese Government at least gives some reason why the US wasn't helping. I thought * was the president who clearly saw "good" and "evil". Seems to have missed this one.
