INC INTELLIGENCE RATED BEST IN IRAQ

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S. military has rated intelligence from the Iraqi National Congress the best received from any Iraqi group opposed to the former Saddam Hussein regime.

A U.S. Army report determined that INC intelligence was the best of five Iraqi organizations that helped topple the Saddam regime. The report said INC tactical military information provided accurate and wide-ranging intelligence on the situation in Iraqi cities and the location of leading Saddam aides.

"In the final analysis, the INC has been directly responsible for saving the lives of numerous soldiers as a result of early warning and providing surveillance of known enemy elements," the army report said.

The report was commissioned in March 2004 as part of a Defense Department review of the cooperation by five Iraqi organizations, including Sunni, Shi'ite and Kurdish groups. The review was meant to determine the extent and effectiveness of cooperation, particularly in providing intelligence that helped U.S. troops in Iraq.
