Iraqis, the army sets up an arms bazaar’, The New York Times, 20 May. US Army commanders who
had been involved in similar buy-back programmes in Haiti and Panama in 1989 and 1990
recognised many of the pitfalls of offering cash for guns. These observations were referred to
and considered in a US General Accounting Office report from 2000. See US General Accounting
Office (2000), Conventional Arms Transfers: U.S. Efforts to Control the Availability of Small Arms
and Light Weapons, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, 18 July, pp. 17–23
