When they stand up, we'll stand down...

The Iraq police academy is "a disaster."

A $75 million project to build the largest police academy in Iraq has been
so grossly mismanaged that the campus now poses health risks to recruits and
might need to be partially demolished, U.S. investigators have found.

The Baghdad Police College, hailed as crucial to U.S. efforts to
prepare Iraqis to take control of the country's security, was so poorly
constructed that feces and urine rained from the ceilings in student barracks.
Floors heaved inches off the ground and cracked apart. Water dripped so
profusely in one room that it was dubbed "the rain forest."

Also, ABC will produce a new mini-series by the people who brought you "Path to 9-11." The new film will be called "Police Academy: The Path to Democracy in Iraq." A rumor has it the opening scene is a world leader landing on an aircraft carrier wearing a giant codpiece.
