Name

Exactly how do you spell his name. Because on the physical copy of "Saddam's Bombmaker" (which I have in front of me), it is spelled as "Khidhir Hamza" rather than "Khidir".

Hussein Kamal

Here is a transcript of Hussein Kamal's debrief, where he called Hamza a "liar" and "useless". [1]

Prof. M. Zifferero: This is my last question. (At this moment, Zifferero showed the general a document.) This document was claim (sic) to be sent to you, minister, by one of the members of the special committee.

Gen. Hussein Kamal: It is a false document.

Zifferero: We are of the same conclusion.

Kamal: It is full of mistakes. The author has no knowledge. The first phrase in the letter is wrong. The data (in the upper right hand corner) is wrong. It is not correct.

Zifferero: It is a fake document.

Kamal: It is not the work of Iraqi intelligence, but some other. Possibly Egyptian. How did you receive this document and who signed it?

Zifferero: It was received by fax, and we have only the first page. It was received in April '95.

Kamal: They would never have written to me such details.

Zifferero: Dr. Khidir Abdul Abbas Hamza is related to this document.

Kamal: We call this person Hazem. He is dark, tall, bigger than me. He is a professional liar. He worked with us, but he was useless and was always looking for promotions. He consulted with me but could not deliver anything. Yes, his original name is Khidir, but we called him Hazem. He went to Baghdad University then left Iraq. He is very bad. He was even interrogated by a team before he left and was allowed to go.

If Hamza really was Saddam's secret "bomb maker", do you believe the Iraqi Intelligence Service would freely allow him to depart Iraq? Not in a million years. It's a shame that the mainstream media embraced his lies. Dynablaster (talk) 03:13, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
