Did the CIA plan to use fake pedophile videos to discredit Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden?

In a story so strange it had to come from the military, the Washington Post is reporting that the Central Intelligence Agency considered producing fake pedophile videos starring bad guys Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden.  In the case of Bin Laden they actually went as far as to make the actual video!  Yet another fine example of our tax dollars hard at work.

The report quotes two sources from inside the Iraq Operations Group, who seem to be reminiscing and laughing at the whole thing and the ideas that were being kicked around.  The Saddam video would have depicted Hussein having sex with a teenage boy:

“It would look like it was taken by a hidden camera,” said one of the former officials. “Very grainy, like it was a secret videotaping of a sex session.”

The idea was to then “flood Iraq with the videos,” the former official said.

Apparently our spy ideas are hatched in some dude’s basement while playing Worlds of Warcraft and smoking weed!

As we mentioned, the Bin Laden video actually got produced and featured the world’s most wanted man and his crew pounding liquor and bragging about their sexual conquests of young boys:

The actors were drawn from “some of us darker-skinned employees,” the source said.

Neither one of these pedophile video ideas made it all the way to the front lines, but one particular concept from this “information warfare” was highly successful.  As the fighting began in Iraq faxes and emails were sent telling unit commanders in Iraq that the situation was hopeless and to pack up and go home.  According to official reports, many of them did.
