The report that the Jordanian king, Abdullah, is passing sensitive American intelligence material to Saddam Hussein, and that Abdullah recently accepted a gift of three Porsche automobiles from Saddam’s son Uday, is enough to make our hair stand on end. Abdullah, after all, last fetched up in the Oval Office on Thursday, the morning after telling the Washington Post from his suite at the Four Seasons hotel that if America proceeds with military action against Iraq it would be a “tremendous mistake.” The Jerusalem Post dispatch about Abdullah, which runs on page one of today’s Sun, is based on unnamed sources. Jordanian diplomats in Washington and at Turtle Bay didn’t return our phone calls yesterday seeking comment on it. But, given the history of close relations between the Hashemite Kingdom and the Central Intelligence Agency, it strikes us that some of the time the American Senate has been spending lately on devising reasons to delay liberating Iraq could be devoted more profitably to some oversight hearings on who lost Jordan.
