MAAFS Annual Meeting

Only five years out of the FBI Academy, Agent George Piro received his most challenging assignment--to be Saddam Hussein's sole American interrogator. Agent Piro received the job, in part, because of his fluency in Arabic and his familiarity with Middle Eastern culture (having been born and raised in Lebanon). American strategists also thought Hussein would best associate with a young, aspiring man. The ruse worked; the constant emotional strain and control broke Saddam Hussein, and he poured out revealing information about the invasion of Kuwait, the war with the United States, and weapons of mass destruction. Agent Piro was Hussein's sole contact and this made for almost surreal events, such as on the dictator's birthday, when Agent Piro delivered cookies made by his mother or when Piro would listen as Hussein read him the poetry that he had written while in captivity. Agent Piro will delve into the mind of the dictator, and explain how an FBI street agent became Saddam Hussein's handler.
