America's top man in Baghdad, L. Paul Bremer, last week fired 28,000 Iraqi teachers as political punishment for their former membership in the Saddam Hussein-dominated Baath Party, fueling anti-U.S. resistance on the ground, administration officials have told United Press International.
A Central Command spokesman, speaking to UPI from Baghdad, acknowledged that the firings had taken place but said the figure of 28,000 "is too high."
He was unable, however, after two days, to supply UPI with a lower, revised total.

No. I don't have anything to say. We're living in a f#%king nightmare 3-ring circus. What's to comment?
But read the article. At least other officials are criticizing Bremer. For whatever good that might do. I think after the microphone was cut off, they were heard to say:
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
