Do we know how to pick 'em, or what?
So we know best, and we're picking the best and the brightest to lead 'The New Iraq.'
Or more specifically, we're picking those most like Republicans to lead Iraq. Here's proof:
The US-appointed interim governor of the southern city of Najaf was removed from office and detained by coalition forces on charges of kidnapping and corruption, a senior coalition official said. "The interim governor of Najaf, Abu Haidar Abdul Munim, was removed from office and arrested this afternoon in Najaf," said the official.
Sixty-one people, including Abdul Munim's personal bodyguards, were also detained and "will be investigated" over the same charges.
Abdul Munim faces "charges which include: kidnapping and holding hostages; pressuring government employees to perform financial crimes; attacking a bank official and stealing funds," said the coalition official.
"These charges on which he has been arrested are charges that have been investigated over the last couple of weeks by the local Iraqi investigative judge and the special prosecutor," he said.
