Here's a little excerpt from Bob Woodward's new book, which you can also read today at the Washington Post site. Check out the name the CIA gave Iraqi informants:
------------------------------------------------------------
So rare, so mind-blowing were the informants that Tim recruited that the CIA gave them the crypt or secret designation DB/ROCKSTARS. (DB was the designator for Iraq.) Tim bought about 100 hand-held satellite telephones at $700 each and handed out phones to 87 ROCKSTAR agents from Umm Qasr in the south to Mosul in the north. The ROCKSTARS could then call in real-time intelligence to a phone bank that Tim's case officers manned.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ok, makes you kind of wonder don't it?
