If polling places & candidates in Iraq are being kept secret....
for security resons, how in the world are the Iraqi people supposed to know who to vote for and where to go?

I guess I understand the security problem, but this solution doesn't make any sense.

2. Thats OK, they dont know who can vote either

they have never done a census, so they have no idea who can vote, where they will vote, or what representation each area might have.

3. It's all a big show anyway
Like when we turned over control last summer and bremer got the fuck out as soon as possible.
We have the winner of vichy iraq now, and the next and the next and he next.
