“SECRETE U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation in Reply, Please Refer to Baghdad Operations Center File No. February 10, 2004 Interview Session Number: 3 Interview Conducted by: SSA George L. Piro SSA Arabic/English Translation: a "BK saddam Hussein (High Value Detainee #1) was interviewed on February 10, 2004 at a military detention facility at Baghdad International Airport (BIAP), Baghdad, Iraq. Hussein provided the following information: Hussein provided his comments regarding the Palestinian situation. Any attempt to understand the roots of the problems surrounding the Palestinian issue should be made from the viewpoint of an Arab, and not just as a Palestinian. The problem is not only a Palestinian one bu: also an Arab one. In the 1960s, many revolutions occurred in Arab countries with the uprisings generally taking place as the result of the dissatisfaction of the people with the rulers of those times. Part of the reason leaders were removed was address the Palestinian issue adequately or their failure to ignoring it altogether. Any solution to the problem should be based on fairness and international law. International law, and its application, created the problem in 1948 upon formation of the separate Jewish state of Israel from lands previously claimed by the Palestinians. A solution, from foreigners and those "internal" to the issue, must be presented in that scope. Everyone has been looking for a solution. However, Hussein stated, "A solution that does not convince the majority of Palestinians will not be successful." The foundation of any such solution, and the final outcome, must be the establishment of a separate state of Palestine. “Dertv -3 De de Tfy On: SECRET 181 This document contains neither rec: mnendations nor conclusions of 'o" FB? snd is loaned to your agency; <* and its contents are not to bi DECLASSIFIED BY uc/baw 60324 IW 65-06-2003 FBI.
