Well obviously there basic checks are not good enough, there for negligent. On one hand you bring up all this evidence to show the guys history, then dismiss the fact that the Army did not find it out before.
Would you think the same about "Basic Checks" that missed out a teacher had a record of child abuse?
The checks were not good enough of that only a fool would deny. The previous abuse was easy enough to find when they needed it. should of been found before.
As for Iraq not being a shit sandwich, I guess it depends on where you are standing.
In ten years Iraq will be a country ruled by Mullahs who will be totallly anti the US. Like Vietnam the US leaders should really have thought the whole thing through.

No criminal record...high school diploma...meeting physical requirements and passing the AGT's...is pretty much the sum total of "basic checks"...unless your MOS requires a security clearance...then they will investigate your background.
Guarding POW's is not a prestige MOS...at least most military personell would not view it as such.
As for a teacher that had a criminal record...of any kind...they too would not be hired. He did not have a criminal record thus he was employed by the military.
