The former Iraqi collaborator recalled: "I was a soldier in the Iraqi army in the war of 1991 and during the withdrawal from Kuwait I decided to seek asylum in Saudi Arabia along with dozens of others like me. That was how began the process whereby I was recruited into the American forces, for there were US military committees that chose a number of Iraqis who were willing to volunteer to join them and be transported to America. I was one of those," he said.
The former collaborator went on: "In 1992 I was taken to America, specifically to an island where most of the establishments were military. I was with a number of other Iraqis, one of them the former governor of an-Najaf, 'Adnan adh-Dharfi. We received military training and intense courses in English and in how to carry out tasks like assassination," he recounted.
The former collaborator said that during the 2003 invasion and subsequent war, he was transported back to the interior of Iraq to carry out specific tasks assigned him by the US agencies.
"During the last war that led to the occupation of Iraq," he recalled, "I was with a group of my comrades who had received training in America in how to spread chaos in the ranks of the Iraqi army. We were brought into Iraq across the border from Saudi Arabia. We put on Iraqi army uniforms and out mission was basically to spread rumors among the Iraqis, such as that the American army had already got into such-and-such a city, or that it is on the outskirts of Baghdad and other such things, which were part of the reason for the rapid collapse of the Iraqi forces," he said.

The British, of course, are infamous for their use of black ops to undermine resistance by making fake terrorist attacks on civilians that appear to be the work of the revolutionaries, basically 'making their hands dirty' so their own people disown them.
But why would the US want to decrease stability, when they are trying to make the case that they are increasing stability?
I do not see any move to carve the country up into balkan states of Sunni and Shia and Kurd, so I'd say that most of the disruptive black ops are now over, and now we are seeing deliberate attacks by others (perhaps Russian?) to destabilize the country and turn the US withdrawal into a bloody shambles, similar to the Vietnam exodus.
Current black ops have likely evolved to mainly revolve around targeted assassinations of key Iraqi government officials who are not following orders and going along with the current plan, as well as targets in the resistance movement (otherwise known in US media as 'insurgents')
There are a lot of wealthy people and countries who would love to see the face of the US military covered in egg over this.
They better be pulling that merc army out too, because when the balloon goes up, all those guys will be hanging from bridges.
