“The United States believes Russian company technicians are in Baghdad helping the Iraqis operate electronic jamming systems that could impair the U.S.-led war against Iraq, a U.S. official said on Monday.” Washington Post

Again, the law of unintended consequences of our overweening rush to unilateral war; could this escalate to a direct US-Russian rupture and unimaginable widening of the conflict? The Russians have investments to protect in Iraq, and if they are jamming GPS signals, this is a big deal; our so-smart bombs are not-so-smart anymore. Of course, however, Russia denies doing this; perhaps a third party diverted Russian technlogy to the Iraqis?
