Scary edict
Progressive, The, Oct, 2004 by Larry A. Sakin
I appreciated Matthew Rothschild's "Occupation's New Guise" (Editor's Note, August issue). However, he forgot to mention one of the more scary edicts issued by Paul Bremer right before the Coalition Provisional Authority left Iraq like a thief in the night.
This edict gives immunity to American and foreign contractors from Iraqi law while making Iraqis driving without licenses subject to jail time. In effect, an American contractor working in an Iraqi prison could torture an Iraqi detainee without fear of reprisals in the country. This edict is truly a symbol of Bush democracy in action.
