Stuart Bowen should get a medal

He's the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction. On Sunday his office released a couple of reports which, if you read the posting below, have to be inaccurate as he gives an unfavorable picture of what's going on in Iraq.

Report 1 says that more than a half-million weapons intended for the Iraqi security forces cannot be tracked as their serial numbers were not recorded. Report 2 questions whether the Iraqis will ever develop or spend the money to develop the logistical capabilities needed by a modern army. Report 3 urges our "provincial reconstruction teams" to abandon work in six provinces because it's too dangerous.

Is he giving a true picture of what's happening there?
