Legitimacy

Here's an article from the Christian Science Monitor which confirms what we all thought: that the security set up at the election kept many Sunnis from being able to vote. Interestingly enough, Anderson Cooper was on the Daily Show the other night and his perception of the election was basically that they were able to go off because the security was so tight. As he put it, Bagdhad was shut down prior to and during the election. That is, there were no cars, no nothing. I think the phrase he used was "marshall law".
