Contract Opportunity: Tracking Detainees' Stuff

Danger Room has uncovered what it calls the "strangest Iraq contract yet": The military wants to hire somebody to account for, inventory, and store the personal property of detainees held by coalition forces in the country.

That may not sound like a very big job, but with 60,000 people already in custody -- and another 15,000 expected to be detained in the coming months -- we're talking about a lot of stuff. The contractor's job will be to keep track of everything and sort out how much of the property already stored in warehouses belongs to "released, deceased, unknown, or escaped detainees."
