Meet The New Boss...

....same as the old boss.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Iyad Allawi shot dead as many as six suspected insurgents last month, just days before Washington handed political control over to his new government.

Two separate witnesses said that the prisoners, blindfolded and handcuffed, were lined up against a wall in a courtyard next to a maximum security cell at al-Amariyah prison in Baghdad. Allawi then pulled out a pistol and shot them in the head, telling policemen that he was setting an example on how to deal with resistance fighters.

this is the man who's supposed to lead Iraq into the bright sunshine of democarcy. obviously, he's a little unclear on the concept

Having ambushed the UN plan to appoint a technocratic interim prime minister last month, Allawi, a former hitman for the Saddam regime, has shown signs of flexing his power under the interim constitution to its limits and breaking out of US control.

we sure can pick 'em.
