Iraqi Parliament Sworn In Today
Congratulations to the Iraqi Parliament, sworn in today and holding their first meeting as Iraq's first freely elected government in 50 years. And kudos for your courage to do so in the face of terrorists who would prefer you didn't.
Also, thanks to the Washington Post Foreign Service for taking a break from looking for things President Bush is hiding and deigning to write about this. Further thanks for the extra drama you injected into your story.
Update: Hugh Hewitt reports that Phil Bennett's interview with the Chinese state paper "People's Daily" was creatively edited. Whether his line about looking for what Bush is hiding in Iraq was his or added post-interview by the paper's editor is still unanswered. However, if the choice comes down to believing Phil Bennett or a communist newspaper editor (I know, some choice...), my sense is to give Bennett the benefit of the doubt on this one.
