...with the Plan Your article on U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi [June 7] reported that he compromised with members of the Iraqi Governing Council to select Iyad Allawi, a man also favored by U.S. officials, as the country's interim Prime Minister. That is absolutely incredible. Allawi, like the discredited Ahmad Chalabi, had lived outside Iraq for decades; he was a Baath Party member and a CIA employee. How likely is it that he will be viewed by the Iraqi public as having credibility? When will the Bush Administration learn from its past mistakes? Jack Kinstlinger Hunt Valley...
...supreme power he wielded only months ago has all but vanished. In his final days in Iraq, Bremer spends much of his time helping the new interim Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi, get up to speed on all that will be required of him.

George Bush made the decision yesterday to hand over sovereignty to Iraq-two days before the proposed June 30th deadline-after a request from the Iraqi government and its Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, who had been discussing the idea with American officials for more than a week. After a phone call with Allawi from Istanbul, Turkey-where Bush is attending a summit of NATO leaders-Bush said it was okay to go forward the next morning if the security situation permitted. After phone calls early this morning from National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice to Coalition Provisional Authority head Paul Bremer...
...official control, there's little reason to believe that after June 30 it will pay any heed to Bremer directives on matters such as Moqtada Sadr - particularly when they make no sense in light of its own plans to create a new political consensus among Iraqis. Indeed, Prime Minister Iyad Allawi this week specifically called on Sadr to disband his militia and instead compete in the realm of politics and stand for election next year. The same message, no doubt, will have been transmitted by Sistani, who met with Sadr last weekend, signaling the extent to which the upstart firebrand...
