5. Yes, I noticed him looking down to read from script AND

there was a nice white man sitting in his (barber?) chair. :+ Also, there was a newspaper article with his pic on it in the background on the wall.

3. "Democracy at gunpoint".

Whoops,...Al Atiyyah used a naughty word: "over-optimistic"!

Assertions of "turnout" are questionable.

Ghassan Attiya

Founder and Executive Director of the Iraq Foundation for Development and Democracy in Baghdad. He is a political scientist, and was a formerly exiled opponent of Saddam Hussein's regime, living in the UK and publisher of the oppositionist periodical The Iraqi File.

The IFDD is a regionally based non-governmental organization committed to supporting democracy and development in Iraq by fostering dialogue between decision-makers and citizens on important social, economic, and political issues. A primary goal of the Foundation is to bring together people of diverse ethnic, religious, political and tribal backgrounds to build consensus on finding solutions to the issues most important to the Iraqi people and for assisting in the promotion of freedom and democracy. With the material and advisory assistance provided by IRI's Baghdad staff, the IFDD has convened several conferences to achieve these goals.
