Pirate Constitutions Sold on Iraqi Streets

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - First pirate CDs. Then pirate videos. Now pirate constitutions.

Iraqi officials are still haggling over the wording of the draft constitution, which was supposed to have been finalized on Aug. 28 despite the objections of minority Sunni Arabs.

The late fine-tuning has delayed printing the 5 million copies that the government plans to distribute to all Iraqi families before the Oct. 15 referendum.

But Iraqi street vendors, who peddle magazines and newspapers for motorists stuck in traffic, have added copies of the constitution to their offerings.

Each copy goes for 100 Iraqi dinars, about 70 cents.

One vendor, waving copies of the document on a Baghdad street, refused to identify his supplier.

But copies of the version announced Aug. 22 and another supposedly declared final six days later were published in Baghdad newspapers."
