Before you understand my story or any other victim, you need to understand what Iraqis fear. What does Saddam’s secret police mean and what does it “entitle”. Many people think that the secret police are just some armed policemen to keep him protected and keep things under control. Saddam’s secret police didn’t need a reason to kill, they didn’t need a reason to “invade” your house, and they didn’t need a reason to take your family members and bring them back dead or never bring them back. Saddam’s secret police was an agency that was developed and created by Saddam and people who are very close to him (his family members and the few he trusted). The agents that worked there were very well paid, and the more they killed the more money and power they received. When I say that the secret police was given money I am not referring to just a good salary, good raise, and I am definitely not saying thousand or two. I am referring to houses, lands, best new cars, and POWER….
So why power is important? What does it mean? Power back in our countries of origin means everything. Power is the ability to go above the law “legally” meaning you can twist and change the law with the knowledge of the government and it doesn’t matter. You become the LAW. The law doesn’t apply to you anymore. You change it, twist it, use it against the poor or the weak (the average Iraqi individual)..and get away with murders, genocide , stealing, torturing, invading, confiscating, anything and everything. The ultimate power.
