CIA Wanted to Make Saddam Gay Pedophile
Read Time:42 Second
In the annals of CIA subterfuge, this is a weird one: A special ops unit pitched the idea of trying to discredit Saddam Hussein as a gay pedophile before the 2003 invasion, reports the Washington Post. The idea was to create a phony home video purporting to show Saddam having sex with a teenage boy. Superiors eventually shot it down, though the unit did make a fake video with an Osama bin Laden lookalike bragging about his conquests of young males.
One problem with the scheme: “Saddam playing with boys would have no resonance in the Middle East—nobody cares,” a former CIA official tells the Post. “Trying to mount such a campaign would show a total misunderstanding of the target. We always mistake our own taboos as universal when, in fact, they are just our taboos.”

All they had to do was find a Catholic priest with a thick moustache et voilà.
“. . . We always mistake our own taboos as universal when, in fact, they are just our taboos.”
It must come as a shock to them when they discover that they are the only ones with such phobias.
Oh, c’mon. The CIA wouldn’t do something as absurd as that!
Next thing you’ll say is they spent a couple of million trying to make a cat into a spy, but it got ran over by a car on it’s first mission. Absurd!
Like a teabagger ridiculing a liberal for reading books. Being intelligent only has a stigma with the Right, the left values research and knowledge.
