With Iraq handing allowing these human shields to come right into Iraq and stand next to or inside important facilities, apparently the CIA took the opportunity to send some of their own people in as "human shields" as well. Hence, Saddam was placing CIA agents inside his important facilities.
Whatever became of those human shield folks anyway?

In fact, had Saddam or his people had any brains at all, they would've thought past the value of human shields and seen the opportunity inherent for American intelligence forces.
Oh well. Goes further to show the incompetence of Saddam's regime and its commanders.

Actually, their counterintelligence forces had some success before - they detected a CIA-assisted coup in the works, let it run for awhile and then called their controllers via satphone that their people had been captured.
OTOH, their attempt at offing President Bush in 1993 was miserably handled.
They where probably the 1/3 that didn't flee a week before the bombing even started
