Iraqi official says martial law possible

[NeoConsSuck]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraq's interim interior minister says martial law could be declared in the country if there are continued attacks like the car bombing that killed 35 people Thursday in Baghdad.

"If we need to do it, yes, we'll do it. We won't hesitate," said Falah al-Nakib, in response to a question about a possible declaration of martial law.

"This is the security of our country. This is the security and life of our people," al-Nakib said.

7. I'm saving this link so that I remember how the Iraqi Civil War started.

Could be interesting to my kids in 10 years, if they are allowed to learn how to read by Lord Paige, the Mind Monitor. But reading will probably be a torturable offense by that point.

9. As if there ISN'T martial law right now!

What a foolish statement. Of course whomever is rubber-stamped into power will be a viscous dictatorship.
