15 tons of $100 bills.

News: How an ex-Mossad chief, a German uberspy,
and a gaggle of top-dollar GOP lobbyists helped Kurdistan
snag 15 tons of $100 bills.

Whatever the reasoning, the execution of the “Camp Z” project was problematic.
In 2004, according to Israeli media reports, Michaels’ team brought in dozens of
Israeli combat veterans through the Turkish-Iraqi Kurdish border, traveling on Israeli
passports whose details were duly noted by Ankara.

Soon the Turkish government grew alarmed that Israeli military types were moving
into northern Iraq, claiming to be agriculture advisers and the like.
The story made it to Israel, whose nationals are prohibited from doing business
in Iraq without explicit government permission. “There is a legal state of war between
Israel and Iraq,” Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev told me.

“It is therefore illegal for Israeli nationals to visit Iraq. Hopefully that will change one day.”
But since it has not yet, the news about Michaels’ operation caused a stir;
making matters worse were Michaels’ alleged feuds with his business
partners over money. One disgruntled former Israeli employee went to the Israeli press
in the fall of 2005, revealing with documents and photographs
the extent of Michaels’ involvement in Kurdistan.
