The Real Enemy in Iraq

Terrorists get the headlines, but without "Baghdad Bob" to spin their exploits, it's Saddam loyalists believed behind most of the attacks in Iraq. Abu Zarqawi's attacks are the stuff of daily news. But they account for only a fraction of the deaths in Iraq. Intel coming into the Pentagon show that the number of planted bombs has doubled since the spring -- roughly 30 bombs per day somewhere in Iraq. Half of those are found and diffused. The pattern of how they're made and planted leads US spooks in the region to speculate they're Saddam's people -- not terrorists. (MSNBC)
