Two Men Charged As Spies for Iraq

Two men from Detroit, Michigan were charged with spying for former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Najib Shemami and Ghazi Al-Awadi, were indicted for giving him information. To be indicted is to be formally charged with the offense. Apparently these two were freed on $10 thousand bond a piece. Documents show that Al-Awadi killed his own son-in-law because he was a part of some kind of anti-Hussein political party. I know that there are all the jokes about the in-laws, but seriously to kill one of them. This guy must have been real dedicated to Saddam. The most serious penalty against Shemami carries a 20 year prison sentence and $250 thousand fine. As for Al-Awadi, his most serious penalty could book him for 10 years in the big house, along with a $250 thousand fine. Shemami's most serious penalty could be violating the emergency powers act, where Al-Awadi's most serious penalty could be acting as a foreign agent. Also Al-Awadi served only six years for the killing of his son-in-law. This is very good for America, because who knows who else these two guys were giving information to. For all we know these guys could have been passing information along to Al-Qaeda.
