Farhat - whom the Free Press said was an illegal immigrant from an Arab country who began helping the feds after...
...fulfilled its pledge to create a democratic Iraq. Already some Iraqi police complain that Americans are hindering their work by insisting on such things as due process. "If they want to see a change, they should let us operate by the old laws of the police," says Lieut. Marwan Hussein, at the Thawra police station in the heart of Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood...
