Fallujah, Iraq - The olive-green uniform of Saddam Hussein's army is making a comeback in this turbulent city, where soldiers of the former regime are taking over security from United States Marines.
The end of a nearly month-long Marine siege may signal an important turning point for Iraqis seeking to regain control of their country and raises questions about how US forces will operate after sovereignty is handed over on June 30.
The end of the siege and the establishment of the new Fallujah brigade are another sign of Iraqis reasserting themselves against the US-led occupation, even before the power transfer.
'There will be no room for those who co-operated with the Americans'
Many Iraqis are vehemently opposed to a new flag adopted by the US-backed Governing Council. After the disclosure of abuses of Iraqi prisoners at a US-run prison, Iraqi authorities are demanding that they take part in the interrogation of detainees and the running of occupation prisons.

1. What is aWol, being the pResident, responsible for? I'll tell you. aWol is responsible for Manslaughter charges in the deaths of our soldiers and soldiers who will die the future. Incompetence is not a defense for Manslaughter. (For the life of me I can't understand why a moral org. doesn't make a TV commercial showing the announcement/pics of the murdered American soldiers of the day with a corresponding split frame of aWol laughing and joking and smiling that exact hour.) The repuke leadership is INSANE. There is NO MORALITY in the American Media Board of Directors. Where does immorality and incompetence border insanity?
2. The American Media is guilty of Racketeering and MUST be prosecuted as some Unions and Mafia Crime organizations have been in the past. (This should be Franken's theme for the next 3 months.)
3. Putting aside the war was a Bush Lie in the first place, the way it is being conducted it is causing more of our children to be wounded (amputees, blinded...) and killed.
