NOW I'm Worried - The left's been wrong about most everything when it comes to Iraq so far. It's been a generally-overwhelmingly-successful liberation, by all rational accounts.

But this could be troubling:

So all the way from Hollywood to the Iraqi holy city of Kerbala, five police officers from the Los Angeles Police Department - in Iraq as reservists with the US marines - have begun training local law enforcement in riot control tactics.

"Right now we're teaching them basic crowd control procedures, how we do it in Los Angeles. Yesterday we went over basic searching procedures, vehicle stops, just the very basic stuff you need to work patrol," said US serviceman Vincent Deglinnocenti.

He missed "checking for nearby video cameras".

Nah, best of luck to the guys. Can't blame them for Darrell Gates.
