Iraq to re-constitute Boy Scouts under supervision of “former” US CIA officer.

The puppet so-called “Iraqi ministry of education” has announced that a new Boy Scout system will begin operation in primary and middle schools during the coming school year. A source in the sports department of the “ministry” has said that the US occupation forces named William “Chip” Beck, a former officer in the Central Intelligence Agency, and US government employee, to cooperate with Americans of Iraqi origin in re-constituting the Iraqi Scouting Council and setting up Boy Scout divisions in Iraqi schools.

Although Beck is a former US Naval Intelligence officer and is currently being paid by the US government, according to a 25 July 2004 report in The Dallas Morning News, he claims that his Scouting work “has absolutely no connection to the CIA or any intelligence organization.”

The Bahraini paper Akhbar al-Khalij, reported that the Iraqi “ministry” source said that Iraqi puppet government agencies are eager to keep the CIA connections of the American supervisor of the Iraqi Scouts a secret. They fear that if Beck’s CIA links became known, families would keep their children out of the new Scout organization, regarding it as suspicious and of doubtful character.

Beck told the The Dallas Morning News that there were adult Scouting leaders in each of Iraq’s 18 provinces, and that 80 Iraqis had agreed to attend Scout leadership training in Cairo, Egypt, in July.

But Fawzi Farghali, the director of Arab Scouting, which is based in Cairo, visited occupied Iraq in April and met with only 30 prospective adult leaders. He said no Iraqi children are involved in Scouting because of concerns about safety. “The parents did not agree to let the boys go to the camp or go walk in the streets,” Farghali said. “We must wait until everything should be quiet.”

Despite the clear rejection of the Iraqi people, Washington is determined to push ahead with its supposedly “non-political” Scouting program to indoctrinate Iraqi young people under CIA supervision. American aggressor troops have set aside 40 acres of land for the establishment of a Scout camp and reserved $25,000 for Kurdish Boy Scouts for buying equipment and supplies. The US Agency for Development is expected to provide a grant of $250,000 to support Boy Scout activity in Iraq.

there is a mass exodus out of the country and the US Puppet Regime is only in control of most of Bahgdad. Other areas are under Iraqi Insurgent control and these idiots want to start a Boy Scouts movement? WTF?!?
