Iraqi Gov’t Integrates 9000 Awakening Council Members Into Baghdad Police
Amazing how the MSM missed this story today…
Baghdad, June24, (VOI)-A spokesman for Baghdad security plan on Wednesday said around 9000 awakening council members were appointed as Baghdad police personnels.
“The number of awakening council members(Sons of Iraq) appointed as policemen has come to 9000,” Brig, Gen. Qassem Atta, spokesman for Baghdad security plan, told Aswat al-Iraq-Voices of Iraq(VOI).
The spokesman noted “integrating Sons of Iraq into police personnels is ongoing”, but he did not elaborate the whole number of awakening council across Baghdad areas.
Awakening councils are mostly Sunni groups that turned against al-Qaeda network in Iraq(AQI)and have helped US-Iraq forces to wrestle power from the AQI in many western and central Iraqi areas.

These are good people and ill tell you why.
in a time of great uncertainty in their country and lots of pain and bloodshed these men chose to do the right thing, they could have just have easily gone the other direction which is against the American troops or they could have been pulled into the revenge attacks against the shiites. but instead they worked with the US and the Iraqi government and took on AQ. good people
