Iraq's Interior Ministry

The LAT's Ned Parker reports today on the front page that Iraq's Interior Ministry is a mess, made up of conflicting political groups who often settle differences by killing each other. Perhaps, but Parker gives few clues about how he knows this. He repeatedly cites Iraqi and American officials for his story but he doesn't name them or otherwise identify them. He does name two sources whom he quotes but the vast majority of references to sources refer to people who may or may not exist.
