OFFICERS WERE SCATTERED, walked home through the desert, took off their uniforms, sat at home and drank or prayed, hid in relatives’ houses, ignored recalls to arms, conferred in whispers and unease. Saddam used those closest to him, Ali Hassan al-Majid and his cousin and son-in-law Hussein Kamel, to put down the uprising. They gathered what officers they could and mustered clots of Mukhabarat thugs and bodyguards to rally contingents where they found them. They said, “This is not a civil war!” Fourteen of Iraq’s eighteen provinces had blown into rebellion; party offices and garrisons in every major city except Mosul and Baghdad were overrun. They called it “Treason! Backstabbing treason!” The uprising was an American-Iranian plot and those who participated in it were traitors.
