Iraq makes progress on crucial constitution plan
Tue May 15, 2007 1:50PM EDT
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi committee agreed on Tuesday to send to parliament a plan to reform the constitution, an important step towards implementing national reconciliation laws that Washington says are critical to ending violence.
Once-dominant Sunni Arabs, who make up the backbone of the insurgency, have long demanded changes to a constitution they say concedes too much power to majority Shi'ites and ethnic Kurds, who were persecuted under Saddam Hussein.
U.S. President George W. Bush, under pressure to show tangible progress in the four-year-old war, has piled pressure on Iraqi leaders to agree power-sharing legislation.
Such laws, which include sharing Iraq's vast oil wealth and ending a ban on former members of Saddam's party from public office, are particularly aimed at assuaging Sunnis Arabs and bringing them firmly into the U.S.-backed political process.
Saleem al-Jubouri, from the Sunni Accordance Front, said the constitutional reform committee had agreed to pass its draft to parliament next Tuesday -- albeit with some passages unresolved.
He said this would allow it technically to meet a May 15 deadline set by the constitution.
"There is a preliminary report that has been approved by committee members," he told Reuters. "Members now have to consult their political parties on the proposals."

"The thing is everybody is forgeting they had to start over on some of the issues with the HCL, now they have agreed on it, now its off to parliament for approval, this step shouldnt take long that now, if they have agreed on the new things of the HCL. Then from there its off to the president council for enactment then the gazette to become a law. Hopefully this is all done by next Tuesday like this article is saying".(Quote from Friend)
