U.S. Policy Toward Iraq

Matt Sherman talked about U.S. policy in Iraq and the effectiveness of the Iraqi police. In January, he concluded two years of government service in Iraq as the deputy senior adviser and director of policy to Iraq’s Ministry of Interior. Under the Coalition Provisional Authority, and later the State Department, he advised both senior Iraqi and Coalition personnel on non-military security matters, and was the lead coordinator of policy that guided the creation and operations of the Iraqi police services and assisted with the development of the 2005 election strategies. He wrote an op-ed on the Iraqi police in March in The New York Times. close
