More good news out of Iraq

Corruption in Iraq is now worse than it was during Saddam Hussein's regime, the Chairman of Iraq's Commission on Public Integrity (CPI), Radhi Hamza al-Radhi, said in an interview published Thursday in the Arabic-language Asharq Alawsat newspaper.

'There are eight ministers and 40 general directors against whom corruption charges have been brought and they had all fled abroad,' he said.
The chairman of 'Public Integrity'? That's an interesting title.

Forty-eight officials have grabbed the money and ran, in what, the first year of this new government?

....Yeah, this plan is going to work...

What the hell are we doing there?
