Marie Colvin in the (UK) Times - Iraqi exiles fly in to incite anti-Saddam uprisings:
Among their ranks were an Iraqi American who had abandoned his grocery store in Missouri and a former nightclub bouncer from London.A pretty good article except for a line about "paid a generous £25 a week". £25 is hardly generous and it seems most of them have other reasons:
Hundreds of Iraqi exiles, assembled under the banner of the Free Iraqi Force, opened a new front in the battle to oust Saddam Hussein yesterday after flying to the south of the country on a perilous mission to incite rebellion in its cities.
Guided by Colonel Ted Seel, a grizzled American Vietnam veteran and expert in psychological warfare, the force will use tribal contacts and guerrilla attacks to trigger uprisings in southern cities such as Basra.
For these men it is an intimate war. Everyone I met spoke of a brother or sister imprisoned, threatened, tortured or humiliated.
