A couple weeks ago, I wrote about the Baghdad bombing that appeared to involve women with mental disabilities as perpetrators. Now comes news that the administrator of a Baghdad mental hospital was arrested under suspicion of supplying mental patients to insurgents for use as suicide bombers. I really should stop letting the depths of human depravity surprise me. And in this case, I think it’s appropriate for the American authorities to conduct the investigation. I’m not confident Iraqi officials would show much interest investigating complicity in these women’s deaths.
