The places where I found the article in my search (truthout.org & dc.indymedia.org) don't strike me as the most credible sources of information especially in light of the tone of the author's book. I wouldn't take an article by Ken Pollack at face value either.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

You seem to have no problems with news and articles quoting CIA as the source, hence my reflection.

DD-That's just your bias in what regards sources.
I mean just look at Fox and tell me...
Not to mention the CIA "factbook", it's riddled with errours it's rather funny

Removing Hussein will benefit the Kurds, but perhaps not in the way that they dream--i.e., an independent Kurdistan. Rather, the US will likely seek a redistribution of Iraqi state power.
But first of all, you've got to make sure that the system for caring for all these people does not collapse. That's why we haven't been talking to the aid agencies that much.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Well Bush has demonstrated he's not tough. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
See Afganistan.
The Europeans simply don't trust he's determined enough.Comment

The Independent is a British newspaper. That's where this story originates. TruthOut and Indymedia no doubt picked it up.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

There's a pair of Guardian articles about the Iraqi National Congress's response to this plan.
Iraqi opposition slams military governor plan
Kanan Makiya: Our hopes betrayed
Among the highlights:
Iraq's democratic opposition parties are meeting this week in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq to finalise plans for a transitional government. But their vision of a post-Saddam administration is deeply at odds with proposals set out last week by President George Bush's special envoy to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad - and apparently endorsed by the Foreign Office. Under the plan a US military governor would rule post-war Iraq for up to a year.
The infrastructure of Saddam's ruling Baath party would remain largely intact, with the top two officials in each Iraqi ministry replaced by US military officers.Yesterday the chairman of the Iraqi National Congress, Ahmad Chalabi, who many people had expected to become Iraq's new president, also derided Washington's proposals. 'The vision of having US military officers three deep in every ministry is not workable,' he told The Observer .Comment

Ah, both Japan and Germany were ruled by military governors.
Now they are the two greatest "projects" the US ever created.
