Democracy in Action?

This article has been lurking in my inbox for a while and I just got round to reading it today. It highlights reports of incidences of electoral fraud in Ninehev province during the constitutional referendum in Iraq. The claims are apparenty based on secret US military reports and it appears that the allegations are not coming from Sunnis but from kurds and Assyrian Christians. It's hard to say how much credence to give these reports but it's worth reading if you're interested in what's happening in Iraq.
