PM CAUGHT OUT OVER IRAQI LETTERS

EXCLUSIVE



By David Pilditch And Gary Jones



TONY Blair has been found out for a second time misleading the public
with old allegations against Saddam Hussein.

The Prime Minister claimed that an "increasing numbers of Iraqi exiles"
are "writing direct" to his office about atrocities under Saddam's
regime.

The Downing Street website quotes extracts and emails from four
so-called independent Iraqis.

But rather than being concerned refugees, the Daily Mirror can reveal
that at least two of the four named people have well-established links
with the Iraq National Congress, the opposition-in-exile group, and the
US State Department.

The first Iraqi exile named is Dr Adil Awadh, who is described as a
"doctor who treated Iraqi soldiers whose ears were deliberately cut off
as punishment".

However, Dr Awadh's allegations first appeared in the Washington Post
on June 26, 1998.

At the time Dr Awadh was a member of the US-backed opposition group,
the Iraqi National Accord, and made the ear-cutting allegations to
support his application for political asylum in the United States.

A second doctor Munther Alfadhal is quoted as saying that "we Iraqis
have suffered enormously under Saddam".

But Downing Street did not say Dr Alfadhal was a member of a US State
Department working group on the future of Iraq.  He is said to have
drafted a replacement constitution.

Only 10 days ago Mr Blair was exposed for plagiarising reports for his
war dossier.

TONY Blair was yesterday accused of misquoting UN official Sergio
Vieira de Mello as backing regime change in Iraq. Mr de Mello's office
later said that his remarks had been "mistranslated".
