Of course they deny it...they lie, that is what Russians do. The fall of the Soviet Union did nothing to change the nature of the Soviets, just their name. They are the same untrustworthy enemy as ever. Bruce
Russia Denies Giving US Intel to Iraq Russia Denies Giving U.S. Intel to Iraq By Associated Press 5:15 AM PST, March 25, 2006 MOSCOW - Russia on Saturday denied that it provided information on U.S. troops movements and plans to Baghdad during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Interfax news agency reported. "Similar, baseless accusations concerning Russia's intelligence have been made more than once," Interfax quoted Foreign Intelligence Service spokesman Boris Labusov as saying. "We don't consider it necessary to comment on such fabrications." An unclassified Pentagon report released Friday cited two confiscated Iraqi documents as saying the Russians collected information from sources "inside the American Central Command" and that battlefield intelligence was provided to then-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein through the Russian ambassador in Baghdad. The report also said the Russian government had sources inside the American military command as it planned and executed the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Pavel Felgenhauer, a respected independent Moscow-based military analyst, said the report was within the realm of possibility. "It's quite plausible," he told The Associated Press. He said a unit affiliated with the Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Department, known by its abbreviation GRU, was actively working in Iraq at the time of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The unit apparently was shut down after the fall of Baghdad. <http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-russia-us-iraq-wa r,1,2748347,print.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines> http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-russia-us-iraq-war ,1,2748347,print.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines _____ FAIR USE NOTICE: All original content and/or articles and graphics in this message are copyrighted, unless specifically noted otherwise.

"Fair Use" legally eliminates the need to obtain permission or pay royalties for the use of previously copyrighted materials if the purposes of display include "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research." Section 107 establishes four criteria for determining whether the use of a work in any particular case qualifies as a "fair use".

Rather, "fair use" is determined by the overall extent to which the cited work does or does not substantially satisfy the criteria in their totality.
