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.
