The title says it all

Don't know if this is true but if it is then the war machine may be tearing at the seams.

Many officials that have been part of the US insistence on the threat of Iraq and the necessity of war are apparently finding sanctuary in Sweden, where they are protected (to what degree is unknown) and can speak freely of the covert tactics of the US as they overplay and falsify the threat to themselves and other countries.

On another, but similar note, the propaganda machine maybe be gearing up for a Cuban Missile Crises/Sandanista threat approach to gain support for the war (pretty inevitable really when you see the administrative line up from that period and this). An article in the New York Times (16 December, 2002) describes how the Pentagon are proposing an escalation in military covert operations aimed at influencing public opinion and policy makers in friendly and neutral countries. Although I think they probably do this already and have done for a long time, it may be of use for someone writing up on it, or to use it in mainstream media (if they have some pull) in order to increase the public awareness and opposition/action against the war.
