Bernard B. Kerik: “Baghdad City Cop”, The Wall Street Journal, September 28, 2003
Kerik's shoddy performance training Iraqi police has been mentioned elsewhere. Kerik was supposed to be in Iraq to help train the police force. Kerik stayed for two months and one day Kerik just up and left. Kerik's irresponsiblity in Baghdad when he was supposed to train Iraqui police was one of the reasons the US had so much trouble with the initial police training program, because Kerik arrived, didn't do anything and then went out to the airport and left.
======================================================
Course others insist Kerik was a "Presidential Envoy" who single-handedly rebuilt Iraq's internal security infrastructure after the invasion" and, for his services, was given the highest award on the planet. Read on.
KERIK AND RUDY HONORED (emphasis added)
