Although the CHL has sat in the front seat for discussions on major issues such as alcohol policy, student social life, and dining hall issues, some students have questioned the value of their input in these committees...
...second wife, John Turturro as Willis’s agent, and Stanley Tucci as a writer trying to make a deal with Ben while seducing Ben’s ex-wife.

But despite such warnings from Washington, all indications from inside the Iraqi political system are that the draft agreement is unlikely to be adopted.

It appears highly unlikely, now, that Iraq's parliament will endorse the agreement...
