CIA to publish new SF anthology

[avram]

The Central Intelligence Agency has announced the impending publication of Alternate Iraqs, an anthology of alternate history stories based around the Middle Eastern nation. Among the stories confirmed for inclusion are Harry Turtledove’s “Points of Light”, in which aliens invade during the Gulf War of 1991, SM Sterling’s “A Highway Worse than Death”, about a serf rebellion in the Mesopotamian region of the Draka Dominion, and Ken MacLeod’s “The Fortified Castle”, about a search for illegal smart-mass weapons.

Ken's getting paid by the CIA again, and this time he knows it at the time? I am Vastly Amused (though unlikely to pick up the anthology just for that).
