British and American agents are on the ground in Iraq fomenting revolt among opposition groups and potential traitors in Saddam Hussein's inner circle as part of a covert campaign to topple him, senior officials disclosed last night.
The admission, on the eve of a conference of Iraqi opposition figures in London, is powerful evidence of a renewed determination in Washington and London to overthrow the Iraqi dictator.
Although the officials conceded that the CIA and MI6 operations were unlikely to succeed without direct military action, a senior source in the Bush administration said that the world should not be misled by the lack of overt military activity.
"American personnel are supporting the Iraqi opposition and working with dissatisfied elements within Saddam's regime, even though he has killed quite a few of these people. Britain is involved too," the official told The Telegraph.
"We could wake up one morning and find regime change in Baghdad has happened completely unexpectedly. It would be hard to do but it's not impossible."
An Iraqi judge yesterday issued arrest warrants for two British soldiers, presumed to be SAS men, whose detention by Iraqi police and subsequent rescue by British forces in Basra last week has thrown an unprecedented spotlight on Britain's role in Iraq.

Just heard from an Iranian friend who's been watching Iranian state tv and this is incredible what he just heard:
The regime has said that Neda was killed by agents which have been paid by John Leyne of the BBC (BBC correspondant deported the other day). My thought on this are wtf the regime have lost the plot altogether!!!
You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran who demand freedom

Something does seem fishy to me too. That CNN reporter is not very convincing. Its as if we're all supposed to become impassioned towards liberating Iran and forget that our liberties are slipping away like water, right here, right now. I don't claim to know squat, but my guts tell me something is up. John124 strikes me funny too. Sorry bud. I hope I'm wrong. Anyway, I think this is a ploy to get us to accept US presence in Iran.

I'm just baffled, perhaps someone can help me, as to why the American media and government is more concerned with the Iranian election, than a guy called Robert Mugabe. Perhaps Mr Mugabe hasn't got any oil?
