link to bbc of aug 8 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4135060.stmlink to nyt of aug 9 http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/10/international/middleeast/10iraq.htmlThis has not been covered by msm tv. I think it shows how complex and bad the situation is there. Why has this story been buried? edited text from coop to coup

For a moment, I thought they'd taken a step in the right direction and started a cooperative.
I read about this last week here on DU. First time I'd ever heard of an actual coup in a city government. It's interesting that the US apparently hasn't tried to stop or reverse it, or realizes it can't.
