“Saddam playing with boys would have no resonance in the Middle East -- nobody cares,”

In the Raw Story/ here

"... the CIA's Iraq Operations Group considered creating a video that would the then-Iraqi leader having intercourse with a teenage boy. “It would look like it was taken by a hidden camera,” a former CIA official purportedly told Stein. “Very grainy, like it was a secret videotaping of a sex session.” The CIA would have then “flood[ed] Iraq with the videos,” the official added.

A third former CIA official said that the plan was shot down, in part, because others in the agency thought that claiming Saddam had sex with boys would do little to undermine him. “Saddam playing with boys would have no resonance in the Middle East -- nobody cares,” another purported CIA official is quoted as saying. “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.”......

Stein notes, however, that the CIA did make a video in which a fake Osama Bin Laden enjoys a campfire and the company of his associates while bragging about their juvenile paramours....."

This trash technique began with Mossad head Meir Amit, who also floated use of "the sex card" as disinfo/blackmail/discrediting against Yasser Arafat. they claimed to have photos of Arafat's "little boys" given to them by Yugoslavian intelligence.
