The Washington Post is running a story about the difficulty that the Baghdad embassy is having finding good employees from the local Iraqis. They refer to their locally engaged staff a “LES.”

two of our LES employees have been gunned down in execution-style murders, and two others barely escaped a similar fate in August. Our LES employees live in fear of being identified with the Embassy of the U.S.

I hope conditions are better with Sears or Microsoft.
