Training of Iraqi forces object of scrutiny

During the past months, various news sources have attempted to portray more fully the difficulties of training Iraqi police and army units. Given the recent statements by US Generals relating to Iraqi-run prison systems, there is still a huge amount of catch-up to be done, even within the least-risky, most sedentary area of the legal-security apparatus. The best coverage has come from The Atlantic's James Fallows, and a recent discussion on PBS' Newshour. Fallows claims that the US did little or nothing effective in the first couple of years of occupation, and only in the past year has training become a priority.
