Counterrevolutionary

... has a great piece on what happened at the Iraqi embassy in Berlin. The idea, in case you haven't read it, is that the whole thing was so mysteriously soft, and mysteriously nonviolent, because the Iraqi "dissenters" were in fact agents of the CIA or German intelligence, who infiltrated the embassy in order to find certain documents:

It is worth remembering that Mohamed Atta and his whole crew came from Germany. So if there is an Iraqi connection to September 11th then it would be filed away in the Embassy ... So that’s the theory – a group of Iraqis trained by friendly intelligence penetrate the enemy fortress, steal the required documents and prove conclusively that Iraq was involved in the attack. In a few weeks, the President will announce that the CIA has found these important documents (in Afghanistan?) or perhaps the leak will come from elsewhere.
