Didn't the media just make a joke out of this story last week?

Okay, it was a different guy last week, but the media ran with the "big bad Saddam had Inspector Clueso after us, arne't you glad we nailed Saddam?" template. Guess this guy wasnt so funny:

A man convicted of spying for Saddam Hussein's former regime and sharing information with the executed Iraqi dictator's intelligence service was sentenced Thursday to 18 months in prison, federal prosecutors said.

Ghazi Al-Awadi, 78, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Iraq, pleaded guilty in July to acting as an agent of the government of Iraq under Saddam's regime.

The government said that between May and November 2002, the Dearborn man obtained information about people and groups opposed to Saddam and then provided that information to the Iraqi Intelligence Service.
