The paper described a "handwritten memo" that was supposedly sent to Saddam Hussein by Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti, chief of Iraqi intelligence at the time... 'It's a lucrative business,' says Hassan Mneimneh, codirector of an Iraqi exile research group reviewing millions of captured Iraqi government documents. 'There's an active document trade taking place … You have fraudulent documents that are being fabricated and sold' for hundreds of dollars a piece."
