Iraqi Perspectives Report Saddam And Terrorism: Emerging Insights From Captured Iraqi Documents
URLﾘﾝｸ(www.archive.org)
Foreword
The Iraqi Perspectives Project. In September 2003 the Com-
mander, United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM), asked the Joint Ad-
vanced Warfighting Program (JAWP) at the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA)
to help develop the operational and strategic lessons from OPERATION IRAQI FREE-
DOM (OIF) from the perspectives of former senior Iraqi decision-makers. By cre-
ating a historical narrative of the events surrounding OIF, interviewing captured
prisoners, and reviewing translations of enemy documents and media archives,
IDA researchers were able to report on the inner workings-and sometimes delu-
sional behavior en masse-of the Saddam Hussein regime.
