Sunnis demand new polls in Iraq constitution row
Sunni Arabs opposed to an Iraqi draft constitution that is expected to win parliament's approval on Thursday insist new elections should be held because of disputes over the document, a Sunni in the drafting panel said.

Hussein al-Falluji said Sunnis would take the case to an Iraqi court if the document is passed by parliament.

The draft is illegal and it is a violation of the interim constitution," Falluji, one of 15 Arab Sunnis on the 71-member committee, told Reuters.

"We will take this to a federal court if the constitution passes through parliament, which by law should be dissolved since the deadline was not met."

1. The Sunnis are correct, but that's not how "freedom" works.
Don't they know that freedom means doing what the US neocon masters want?
