NOTHING NEW

Meet Iraq's new boss...same as the old boss?

According to eyewitnesses, Iraq's new Prime Minister Iyad Allawi pulled a pistol and executed several suspects in a courtyard. The two eyewitnesses were tracked down by the Sydney Morning Herald and both gave their testimony without payment and without the knowledge of each other's existence. Their stories were nearly identical and both included the presence of several American security agents and vehicles.
