    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iraqis have found innovative ways of resisting the former regime of the Baath Party by using rumors, according to a study by Stanford University scholar Lisa Blaides.
    "Using the documents of the Hoover archive, the American scientist collected 2,000 rumor obtained through a survey of government documents of the Ba'th party seized by the US-led International Coalition after the invasion of Iraq last year," Stanford University said in a report. 2003, which showed an insight into the hopes and fears of citizens not available in the media, which were under the control of the state and the suppression of freedoms.

"The exchange of rumors among people inside Iraqi society was a means of showing confidence between Community members or someone while the rumors themselves reflect low levels of confidence in the government and the ruling state institutions at the time.

"
    "Rumors are a manifestation of the" hidden text "of political resistance in authoritarian regimes. In the most repressive regimes, citizens can not often engage in overt public forms of resistance, and instead are forced to engage in more worldly excesses In order to challenge the existing political system.
