OK. Where did they meet in Baghdad?

I have no idea where they met, and the where is beside the point. My point
was that it could not have been a "casual" meeting. It could not have
occurred without knowledge and consent of the Iraqi security forces.

That's quite an "absolute". I'm sure Iraq was (and will again become) an
Orwellian nightmare, but when WE have chosen to watch someone, we're capable
of creating the same situation for that person. Still, it's not foolproof,
and various attacks have shown.
