The men have special contempt for the foreign fighters coming into Iraq to fight the Americans. The foreign fighters come in on what is called "the rat line". Definitely up to no good.
Thank you for this post and I'll search your name for your interview report.

(There's a RAT line in Iraq)
To: Airborne Longhorn
One young officer (he looked 19 to me, but I am sure he was in his mid to late
twenties) talked about how he was handed $30 million (U.S.) captured from Saddam's
bunkers and put in charge of putting it to use.
He described how he oversaw the utilization of these monies in building schools...snip...etc.
Too bad some enterprising journalist didn't tag along as this officer dispensed the funds.
A news report on this could be titled:
"Forget 'Win Ben Stein's Money'! Spend Saddam's Millions!"
I can't help but wonder if the response from some recipients wasn't something like:
"You're going to give me how much money?!
Saddam's money? You lie worse than a sleeping camel!"
