U.S. Report Faults Iraqi Police Screening

Washington Post, via Associated Press, Tuesday, July 26, 2005; Page A16

Iraq's police force has suffered from inadequate recruiting and screening of candidates, apparently even allowing some insurgents to join, a U.S. report said yesterday.
Even so, the study by the inspectors general at the Defense and State departments said the effort to build up Iraq's police agencies has been a qualified success.
In a written response, the military said it is addressing most of the concerns raised by the study. The investigation concluded in April, and Pentagon officials said many of the proposed changes are already being implemented.
