De Iraakse Grondwet

Dahr Jamail, de onafhankelijke Amerikaanse journalist die naar Irak ging om te zien wat er werkelijk gebeurde, schreef voor het maandblad The Ester Republic een sceptisch artikel over het Iraakse grondwetsreferendum, getiteld: 'A Constitutional Referendum that Wasn't... Just prior to the so-called constitutional referendum vote in occupied Iraq, one of my close friends in Baghdad wrote me, “I would like to point out that we are three days away from the referendum, yet very large sectors of Iraqi people couldn’t receive part of the five million copies [of the constitution] from the UN, i.e.—they will not know what the constitution contains...what kind of vote is this?” His confusion makes sense, considering that only five million copies of the so-called constitution were printed and supposedly distributed to 12.5 million registered voters in Iraq.' http://www.esterrepublic.com/Archives/djamail12.html
