Losing Iraq, One Truckload at a Time

There was an intersting op-ed piece of the same title in the NY TImes on Sunday written by Army captain Luis Carlos Montalvan describing corruption in Iraq:

The most prominent forms of corruption I saw were Iraqi commanders pocketing the paychecks of nonexistent troops in the Iraqi Army and officers in the police forces, and customs officials abetting the smuggling of oil and precious rebuilding supplies across Iraq's porous borders. These are vast problems, but some relatively simple solutions could tamp them down considerably.
