Talabani Blasts Jaafari for Illegalities

"Snippets from the BBC World Monitoring of the Iraqi Press for Sept. 29:

"Al-Manarah on 28 September carries on the front page and on page 7 a 750-word article by Muwaffaq al-Rifa'i criticizing prominent Iraqi political forces for trying to isolate Iraq from the Arab environment. The writer criticizes the draft constitution because it enhances sectarianism and ethnicity in the country . . "

It looks like there is a little bit of diversity in the new Iraq press. There's a little bit of everything for just about everyone in Cole's news snippets. Hopefully the Iraqis will get as addicted to having a large variety of news outlets as the rest of us are. This is one of those silver linings things that could outlast the occupation for years to come.
