At the end of the same BBC article you get a few "Oh, and by the way" points to consider:

• Nine Iraqi police and a civilian have died in suicide bombings between Baghdad and Karbala, where Shias are attending a major religious festival
• ... a nephew of Saddam Hussein, Ayman Sabawi, has been sentenced to life in prison for funding Iraq's insurgency
• An Iraqi reporter working for the New York Times, Fakher Haider, has been found dead in Basra
• Iraq's Finance Minister, Ali Allawi, tells the UK's Independent newspaper that large-scale corruption in Iraq's ministries, particularly the defence ministry, has led to the theft of more than $1bn.

That's a "B". On the one hand, it's total corruption. On the other hand, since the goverment hasn't even existed for 18 months yet, you have to be impressed with their efficiency!
