Even Allawi was calling for troops out

This story says:
Even Mr Allawi's party website in Arabic said that that the interim Prime
Minister wanted a staged withdrawal of the US forces.
I understand that he says something different in English.

Meanwhile the results are delayed

Still it looks like 169 (Shi'a main list) will come top followed by 130 (PUK KDP alliance).

The most ironic element is that it appears that the US's favourite candidate has actually done better in Iraq than in the US expatriate vote.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
