#1 hmm. That seems like both a good and bad idea. 14,000 out of work corrupt individuals is lotsa mean, armed and angry individuals.

#2 They should all have had little locater/microphone/explosive bugs implanted in them before they were fired. Or at least a 'placebo'.

#3 Since the most respected part of the Iraqi government is the military, which is approaching full strength, their government should provide lateral transfer with time-in-grade from their army to the police.

This could flesh out their middle management ranks of their police quickly with proven quality personnel.

#4 I'm a little wary of the stated reason "failing to respect human rights". That could mean a lot of different things, some of which are wholly justified and some of which are just the effeminate fantasies of lesser intellects.

#5 I'm under the impression that the Iraqi bureaucracy is vastly overstaffed. The economy has been improving steadily -- surely educated people should be able to find jobs in the private sector.
