Worse Than Bad

"It's actually worse than anyone thought. Azzaman is reporting that as many as 1300 names will be blocked from elections. It could be an exaggeration, but the numbers are going to stir up anger. Originally some TV stations said that along with Saleh Al Mutlak the brother of the defence minister was banned. But it turns out that the defence minister himself, Abdel Qader Obeidi has been prevented from appearing on the ballot. Yes, it is insane."
