Let me understand this. Iraq says they can not really keep track of some materials, they say they destroyed it years ago but can't find the records. Many posters on this board say it is inconceivable that Iraq doesn't have records.

Well it happens. No surprise to many who sees shades of grey in the world.

The story is about lost weapons and laptops in our own FBI, and it contains accurate numbers of how many they know they have lost. That speaks to fairly accurate records, does it not?

The physical size of the weapons and laptops lost by the FBI is markedly different than that of the materials lost in, or by, Iraq. Unless by "materials" you are alluding to "records" or "paperwork".

So I guess you kind of lost me here. You take a story about incompetent (and probably criminal) bumbling by the FBI and try to use it, somehow, to support your position on Iraq's handling, or misshandling, of something (whatever that is; that is not even clear). Maybe I'm a little slower than normal today, but could you take a moment and try to make a clearer connection for me?
