"It’s widely suspected that Jordanian spies tipped off the U.S. military to the location of al Qaeda in Iraq’s Jordanian-born leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leading to the U.S.-Iraqi military raid that killed him."

This I am Not suprised....I have a feeling there are/were more spies than we realize. Could be anyone in a fairly benign job..infact these people might not even know they are providing information for this ;)))

OMG, this is so good, I find it hilarious that France is on top of the list. I wonder how the Germans are able to have a good balance between civil liberties and security, expecially with such a large muslim community.

Smile if you are a thinker!
