#1 Chuck, here is an odd article fromteh Wasthington Times: Iraqi police under siege. I think that it must have been posted here already, but this part is strikingly odd - "Nadia Jassim joined the police department for only one reason: She so distrusts its ability to protect her family that she signed up for the free weapons training.
"My neighbor was kidnapped, and there are gangs in my neighborhood," the 26-year-old cadet said. "The police don't help, and I want to learn to use the weapons to protect my family."
The police are so unpopular that Miss Jassim and many of the other trainees at the Baghdad Police Academy say they change into their uniforms only once they are inside the compound...
