...Prime Minister is moving fast. A mere 24 hours after taking over, Allawi's Cabinet approved three far-reaching security measures. First, it reinstated the death penalty, which Bremer suspended a year ago. It drew up an amnesty plan that is meant to siphon Iraqi nationals from the foreign insurgents. And the Cabinet promulgated a new public-safety law that gives the government broad--some say undemocratic--anti-insurgency powers. The edict stops short of the martial law Allawi had earlier hinted at, but only just. In designated areas--like Fallujah--the government will be able to restrict movement temporarily...

I think there?...
...color of ros? usually comes from the grape skins: leave the juice in contact with the red skins for a long enough time, then siphon off the juice and you get ros?. The wine is best enjoyed young, and flavors range from strawberries and cream to slightly spritzy. First-timers should try the can't-go-wrong bottlings from France's Provence and Languedoc regions, especially the latter. There's also Spanish rosado and Australia's wonderful Turkey Flat. Serve chilled and take no flak: wine snobs have no idea what they're missing...
