Top cleric says Iraqis, not U.S., should lead push for constitution
No duh. What, didja think you could just cookie-cutter out a national design for these people without their input?
Iraq's leading Shiite cleric has issued a fatwa opposing the formation of a constitutional council by the American occupation authority, saying Iraqis should elect the drafters of their constitution. The fatwa, or edict, may complicate considerably the plans of the American-led authority here to select a convention to draft a new constitution for Iraq.
