A Different Type of Kidnapping in Iraq

The House Oversight Committee today conducted hearings on allegations of waste, fraud, and abuse at the new U.S. Embassy in Iraq. This is scary stuff -- read the written testimonies submitted to the Committee at the bottom of this website. I was particularly disturbed by the testimony of Rory Mayberry.

Iraq is a fiasco from top to bottom, and the worst part of it is that there are so many fiascos going on that stuff like this, even though it should normally be a large scandal in its own right, gets overlooked. This is really sad.

As you can tell, my internship for the courts is almost over. Posting of a political nature will resume at the normal pace.
