A sample text widget

Etiam pulvinar consectetur dolor sed malesuada. Ut convallis euismod dolor nec pretium. Nunc ut tristique massa.

Nam sodales mi vitae dolor ullamcorper et vulputate enim accumsan. Morbi orci magna, tincidunt vitae molestie nec, molestie at mi. Nulla nulla lorem, suscipit in posuere in, interdum non magna.

Road to Bremer’s Utopia

Bremer readies his view of Iraq with 97 legal orders that can only be overturned with “approval of a majority of Allawi’s ministers, as well as the interim president and two vice presidents”. Oh, and Allawi gets a five year term, as well as the rest of Bremer’s handpicked ministers.

…seven-member commission the power to disqualify political parties and any of the candidates they support

…cap tax rates at 15 percent, prohibit piracy of intellectual property, ban children younger than 15 from working, and a new traffic code that stipulates the use of a car horn in “emergency conditions only” and requires a driver to “hold the steering wheel with both hands.”

…One of every three candidates on a party’s slate must be a woman.

…30-year sentences on people detained with grenades and other military weapons

I’m hoping this one is a misprint:

…Special Task Force on Compensating Victims of the Previous Regime

I’m hoping they meant

Special Task Force on Compensating Victims of the Current Occupation
