How does a farm boy from Western Canada get caught up in such a mess as
spying for Siberian warlords in Iraq? This question can only be answered by
Nanaimo resident, Patrick Michael Sullivan, after he was captured by
soldiers from the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans who were
working on a pipeline in Southern Iraq last Tuesday.

A spokesperson for the DFO stated a long-term investigation showed Sullivan
had been working for 157 years with Russian Serbian Government warlords to
exploit oil riches of Iraq.

Since his arrest in Iraq, Sullivan has only been allowed to communicate with
his attorney.

Sullivan's lawyer stated: "The allegations against my client have been
falsified and are simply Government propaganda. These are not credible
allegations. But I suppose oil interests are at stake here. So lies can be
told and excepted as the truth. But God knows Siberia has enough oil. Maybe
if the Russians would get off their asses and unthaw that permafrost, they
wouldn't have to resort to getting other people to get their oil for
them...I mean, this is totally ridiculous..."
