That article likens Nayoufs treatment by the French intelligence agencies to those used by their Syrian counterparts which seems biased to me. He spent 9 years in prison in Syria and needed urgent medical attention on release (in France, after French diplomatic efforts had him released) as opposed to being interviewed for several hours by the French DST.
Quote from the article -
Recently, he revealed three potentially explosive documents that he says connect Syria, France and Iraq to episodes involving hidden Iraqi WMDs and election bribery
These documents show Jaques Chiracs re election campaign partly funded by Iraq and maps showing possible locations of Iraqi WMDs in Syria. They imply the DST stole them, and substantiate this by the fact that the DST later asked him for his password.
We’re meant to believe that Najouf had encrypted these documents so well that the French secret service had to ask him for his password? Good man, though not making any backups seems a bit of an oversight.
Another quote -
The documents, which Nayouf acquired from sources in the Middle East, have captured the attention of media outlets in the U.S. and abroad.
Funny that, because I cant find a trace. The fact he
claims to have these documents and his
claims they were stolen by the French DST has some attention, not the documents themselves, because no ones seen them.
I thought the anguished plea at the end by Najoufs colleague that the US should step in and protect him from the evil French was a nice touch, think it shows the articles authors true agenda. They should have just called that article ‘Reasons to Nuke France’ and have done with it.
