Mission Black List #1

By Eric Maddox with David Seay
published in 2009


The slightly different path that Maddox uses came from an interpretor named Jared. Jared describes to Maddox a list, he has developed and kept up to date, that shows bodyguards of Saddam Hussein. Jared's advice that leads Maddox to find Hussein is to “Focus on Saddam's bodyguards. For that reason, this book has so many names that sometimes it gets hard to follow. Anyway, all the bodyguards are related to Saddam and also have sub-tribes. After going over the list with Maddox, Jared makes sure to inscribe some important names into Maddox, names such as Muhammad Al-Haddoushi. Basically, Jared believes that there may be still be a connection between Saddam and his bodyguards. Maddox agrees with this theory and tries to use his skills as an interrogator to find the information he is looking for. Now before you can interrogate, you must first have a suspect. In this book, the way to obtain a suspect was by means of raids. These raids were preplanned by 12 hours and executed by an elite team of soldiers. At first, the team doesn't understand why Maddox wants to obtain certain people that almost have no relation to Saddam, but then as he becomes more experienced, they take his advice. Because he gained that experience, he was able to lead the team to their end goal, Saddam Hussein.
