Making the world safe for ATMs

By Ken Herman | Thursday, July 31, 2008, 10:47 AM

Troubled about whether the war in Iraq has been worth the blood and treasure that’s been spent on it?

Wondering whether real progress is being made?

Page nine in the latest quarterly report from the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, includes the following entry in a list of “important developments in the provinces”:

“First ATM in Diyala. This quarter, the first automatic teller machine opened in Baquba, the capital of Diyala.”

No word on the fees.
