Look past the charge sheet and Sunday was about something rarer than theft, it was about the end of being untouchable. For 20 years a whole class of people in Baghdad lived above the law...That certainty was the trap…It kept them in plain site on the payroll, in contracts, on every deed they signed…Baghdad was 1 room in a house that spans the globe.

This week they’re being pulled down across a string of countries at once...It’s the rules of the old world being rewritten. In Iraq every threat at this point is one date…Washington. :Reset Intelligence
