#3 That was exactly my first thought when I saw that headline too. I sure hope they screened these candidates thoroughly.

#4 If they can teach their fellows to aim before shooting it'll save the Iraqi Army a fortune in bullets and gunpowder (or whatever the modern equivalent is).

#7 Screening is an understatement. They are probably all intensely loyal and connected, the best and the brightest from only the best units. These guys will be the cream of the crop. The odds of them ever shooting at US soldiers is tiny.

However, who knows how well they will screen the second generation?
