Top Story
- CIA wanted to create a Saddam Teen Sex Tape
In 2003 when the Iraqi invasion was being planned, the CIA came up with the plan to produce a video showing Saddam Hussein having sex with a teenage boy. “It would look like it was taken by a hidden camera,” said a former CIA official. “Very grainy, like it was a secret videotaping of a sex session.” Hussein wasn’t the only one who was going get tagged as a paedophile. Apparently a tape was made of Osama bin Laden, played by one of the agency’s “darker-skinned” employee, sitting around a campfire talking about all of the boys he slept with.
Both plans eventually went nowhere. Mainly because they might have turned the stomachs of our blue haired ladies, but would have fallen flat overseas. A former agency official with experience in the Middle East commented:
“Saddam playing with boys would have no resonance in the Middle East — nobody cares. Trying to mount such a campaign would show a total misunderstanding of the target. We always mistake our own taboos as universal when, in fact, they are just our taboos.”
