Sure, many do, many don't. Providing credible information of any kind, for an Iraqi, is more about trust. I'd say it's all about trust. I believe about 1/4 to 1/2 of anything I'm told by an Iraqi on first meeting. It's not because they are outright liars. They, like many cultures have a thing about saving face for others, and not being truthfully direct when first meeting people. It really is about how well known you are, and trust.
Being American, we tend to judge others intentions and motivations against our own. It seldom works well, and leads to trouble down the road if done continually.
To just say "Meh, they want us out and are thus turning over more cache sites." Would be about as accurate as information passed on first meeting the average Iraqi. Only slightly so. There is a grain of truth in there, but not the whole truth.
