In Iraq news, the Washington Post is reporting most members of the country’s U.S.-appointed Governing Council no longer support the Bush administration’s plan to choose an interim government through indirect elections. In November the Council had endorsed Washington’s model to hold a series of carefully vetted caucuses to indirectly elect a government. But now members want the Council itself to take power on June 30 and remain in power until proper elections can be held. Without the the Governing Council’s support it appears the US will have to abandon its plans for indirect elections and caucuses. One official told the Washington Post “It’s hard to imagine pulling off the caucuses without the Governing Council. What happens when these people — people we selected — say they do not support the process? It can’t work.”
