How the FBI Broke Saddam

An interesting article in the New York Daily News "Mouth of the Potomac" blog by James Gordon Meek on the FBI's tactics in getting Saddam Hussein's confessions and comments over a period of several months. It makes interesting reading, and provides insight to the events of late 2003 and 2004.


If you have the chance, read How the FBI Broke Saddam - Part 1. I'll post the other articles as they come available.

These articles could be a powerful tool in teaching this period of time.


Essential Question: What type of classroom discussions could you foresee based on this (and the future 'to be published') articles?
