How the FBI Broke Saddam: The Whole Series

James Gordon Meek has completed his series on How the FBI Broke Saddam in the New York Daily News “Mouth of the Potomac” blog.

If you have a chance, it would be worthwhile to read this engaging and interesting story which provides insight into Saddam, the war, and the FBI. The links are:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

There are also links to the FBI interrogation reports.

These articles could be a powerful tool in teaching this era of our history.

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