According to 60 minutes, you can buy lots of American uniforms and Iraq security uniforms and equipment in the Thieves Market. You can get body armor for $100. The original cost for body armor is $1500.

As if there wasn't enough stress in Iraq, now the opposition can come dressed looking like our troops.

Karen,

Looks like the SF Gate is guilty of telling half-truths.

The kidnapping of the Jordanian-American businessman is hysterically funny when you hear the rest of the story.

He is the owner of a "security" company operating in Iraq. Isn't that a riot? <gg>

Hopefully, the ransom will bankrupt this bastard. In any event, his reputation is ruined. :)
