“We continue to work contract negotiations with Western retailers as well as heavier industrial operations in the West,” [Paul] Brinkley [U.S. deputy undersecretary of Defense for Business Transformation] said. “One of the most inspiring locations is a very large textile factory [in Najaf] where 1,800 Iraqis have now returned to work, and the clothing made in that factory is being reviewed by Western retail outlets.”
