#1 This offer balances out the way that jihadi suicide bombers' families are being compensated by other sources.

#2 Article: The families of Iraqi policemen killed by insurgents are to receive a lifetime wage, on top of a one-off compensation payment.

It's about time this happened. I can't believe Bremer did not institute this death benefits policy when he was in charge. This is something that the terrorists can't match.

#3 Zhang, had exactly the same thought probably last fall -- why didn't CPA set up a full benefits arrangement? Water under the bridge, but it seemed odd at the time. Might be an explanation -- but providing it would violate the Prime Directive on silence by the USG in the face of all questions and slanderous attacks.
