I said I had nothing to add -- I was mistaken. The article says the total is over a month's pay for the Iraqi soldiers who collected the money. My origami-list correspondent said it was over a *year's* pay for many of the Iraqi people. I don't know, myself, if Iraqi soldiers are making 12 times what other Iraqi citizens are making. (Although I think they probably deserve it for their courage, making themselves targets of other Iraqis.)
