plutherusApparently, it's still going on.
I haven't seen this mentioned in any of the news articles dealing with it anywhere (big surprise there), but what is the state of the Iraqi police departments?
Somehow, I doubt that we're allowing armed Iraqi citizens to walk around the streets, even if they're in uniform. I wonder how long the Smithsonian would last if we were invaded by a foreign power that disbanded all the protection infrastructure we currently have in place and everyone knew was only guarding our oil wells themselves? Hell, I'd probably head down to Circuit City myself...
