To that end, he worked - for some time as a CIA asset - on plans to foment a coup among Baathist generals. Allawi's history, and his pronouncements on martial law and cracking down on the insurgency suggests he may remain inclined towards the "strongman" route, and if he succeeds in restoring a measure of security and stability to the daily life of ordinary Iraqis he may well...
