Alleged Spy Saw Reports of Iraqi Weaponry

Spy suspect Brian Patrick Regan examined documents that could have caused great harm to national security if they had been turned over to Iraq, an Air Force general and an official of the government’s spy satellite agency testified at Regan’s trial..

Air Force Maj. Gen. David Deptula and Dennis Fitzgerald, deputy director of the National Reconnaissance Office, said the retired Air Force master sergeant saw satellite photos of missile sites, confidential reports of Iraqi weaponry and a classified defense manual. All could have helped President Saddam Hussein’s military hide its weapons and threaten U.S. and British pilots who patrol ‘no-fly” zones over Iraq.
