    Here's a first hand account of a Canadian journalist who was taken hostage by Iraqi militants and recently released. He was captured right next to an Iraqi police checkpoint. Several times while he was in custody his captors interacted with the American paid and trained police. From the link:

    "For me to see this and allowed see that, and the collusion with the police I think was the key. Everywhere we went, including the first time when they put me in the car, the American-paid Iraqi police were the ones that were instrumental in working hand in glove with the resistance, allowing us into Mosul."

    This is just hitting the major media, but might be suppressed. I just saw this guy on Foxnews, where he said this stuff, and the interviewer didn't react at all. THey mainly asked him to talk about how terrible his torture sessions had been...

    "This week, the Canadian Halifax Herald carried a unique first person account by Scott Taylor on his capture in the Tal Afar enclave, describing how as a hostage of the Ansar al-Islam he was transported between various safe houses, farms and hideouts before being eventually released beside a highway in the city of Mosul. His most startling experience was being handed over by members of the US-funded, newly constituted Iraqi Police Service to his captors. A police officer at the Tal Afar checkpoint instructed him to climb into a car full of masked gunmen. Only too late, he realized they were not a special police unit but terrorists who later claimed that many of the police in Mosul donate part of their US salaries to anti-US forces."

    like any guerilla type insurgency, the lines are so fucking blurry.

    the failures of of Falloujah, where the US ecently disbanded the local led exclsuively Iraqi force that was established to quell the insurgency because it was made clear there was no line between so called Security forces and the insurgents. The insurgents are led by foreigners and us Iraqi's as pawns, so why would you, newly decorated Iraqi police officer take arms against your neighbor who joined the insurgency because his family was bombed to fucking bits.

    and by the same token, you're an Iraqi police officer. i need the money to feed my family. i wouldnt mind paying the insurgency to give me warning if they are about to blow the police station up.
