...Pachachi's harsh words signal a crisis for the U.S.-appointed Governing Council, which is currently Washington's most likely candidate for assuming the sovereign power that the Bush administration hopes to transfer on June 30. Iyad Alawi, another long-time U.S. ally in the rotating presidency of the IGC resigned at the weekend, as did the IGC's human rights minister, and others warned that they may follow suit.

BREMER: The spaces aren't filled in. We will hand over to a sovereign Iraq government on June 30. The shape and structure of that government isn't yet defined. When we get finished with the transitional administrative law, we will turn to a broad dialogue with Iraqi politicians, provincial governors, local councils, ministers--a variety of people--to try to figure out the best and most effective way to bring in the government. We don't know what that...
