AFP: Ba'athists To Be Purged From Electoral Lists

"The Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq has finally relented to the demands of the Higher National Commission for De-Ba'athification: electoral blocks running for the December 15 elections have one more week to either remove the name of a suspected Ba'athist or seek an exemption from the de-ba'athification commission. The latter recourse is unlikely to happen; expect this to turn very ugly. Of course, if you're a Ba'athist on Chalabi's list, you will probably get off the hook by the Chalabi-dominated commission. No worries for Muzahim Al-Tamimi, candidate for Basra, and Adnan Al-Juheishi, candidate for Hillah."
