US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld toured Iraq yesterday where he said Washington will speed up training for Iraqi security forces, including former members of Saddam Hussein’s military and intelligence services.

He said the U.S. military is “looking at ways of accelerating” the process of bringing former members of Saddam’s military–and possibly his security services–into the Iraqi security forces.

Meanwhile, Rumsfeld may be the only person in Iraq who does not have complaints about the country’s massive shortages of electricity. After returning on a Black Hawk helicopter from one downtown compound to an American base near the city’s airport, Rumsfeld said quote “For a city that’s not supposed to have power, there’s lights all over the place. It’s like Chicago.”
