The Great Escape, Iraq Edition

Possibly with help.

BAGHDAD — A nephew of Saddam Hussein serving a life sentence in a northern Iraqi prison escaped Saturday in what authorities believe might have been an inside job...Police said Sabawi fled Saturday afternoon in a car that had been waiting outside the prison in Badush, about 45 miles west of the northern city of Mosul. Authorities are investigating whether night-shift guards helped him escape.

I wonder if it's possible for my expectations for this country to sink any lower.
