Gus > So, on pay day, the US handler has only to ask his Iraqi agent to drive a particular truck, along a set route, up to a particular meeting place to pick up the money. Then it's just a matter of remotely blowing up the truck bomb as it rides past the target.

Yes, I have no argument with that. Actually there was a time when I though they used radio-controlled vehicles but, as you say, even that's too expensive. The use of patsies is by far the cheapest and easiest, as in the UK. And there's no shortage of takers for the job.

I posted the piece tongue in cheek because I was rather amused that the US military wanted to sponsor such a competition. And then I thought, well, they have a robot president so why not some trucks?
