Robert Gates, Bush's nominee to replace Secretary Rumsfeld, presumably- retiring- because of Iraqi IED prevalence, was rejected as head of the CIA in 1989 for allegedly passing intelligence to Iraq.
Iraq headed by the death-bound dictator, of course.

I hope the Congressional committees who will vote to approve/disapprove Mr. Gates have a similar taste for irony to mine.
