COMMENTS: Ministry of Feuds
In Baghdad, CBS' Lara Logan turned from warfare to politics. Opposition to the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is mounting and a coalition dubbed the Iraq Project has formed to back a no-confidence vote to force his ouster. Logan explained that al-Maliki is under fire for decentralizing the government so that each ministry is under the control of a single political party. An opposition leader and former general Aziz al-Yazeri al-Yasiri called it "a multiparty dictatorship instead of a government of national unity." The result, Logan reported, is "a sectarian government, which fuels the violence, instead of stopping it." For now, al-Maliki is secure as President George Bush continues to back him.
