.Iraqi Government requests 5 changes in the US Iraqi agreement
"A number of Iraqi media , like the government owned al-Sabaah newspaper, and a number of my personal contacts in Baghdad say these are the five new changes requested by the Iraqi government:
1- the title will be changed to "agreement on complete US withdrawal from Iraq"
2- ensure that Iraq does have legal jurisdictions over US troops by changing paragraph 9 of article 12 to give the joint committee the responsibility to decide whether U.S. armed forces members were on duty or off-duty when a "major and intentional crime" takes place. In addition, some sources indicated that there might also be a request to change paragraph 8 by removing the part about US armed forces enjoying the rights granted to them by US laws while they are in an Iraqi court.
3- ensure that 2011 is the final date for withdrawal all US troops by removing paragraph 5 of article 25 and other similar articles what might be used to delay the withdrawal date.
4- allow the Iraqi government to inspect US military mail
5- a ban on attacking any neighboring countries from Iraq"

Wow, I can't believe Raed called them the Executive and Parliament. You think he's accepting the new Iraq? Could it be, could he have turned a new leaf. Somehow I think he's just being polite, and even that is an improvement I guess.
