More Evidence of How Great Things Are Going in Iraq
Iraq proconsul Paul Bremer was abruptly summoned home for meetings with the highest administration officials, which are supposed to take place this afternoon. Reuters quotes an official as saying "Some decisions need to be made," and presumed that the issues dealt with Iraq policy.

Slate reported nearly two months ago that Bremer, in his role as the de facto Iraqi government, may have violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by getting Iraq back into OPEC--a price-fixing cartel that is illegal under U.S. law. NBC News resurrected the story over the weekend, and now Bremer's on the first plane back to Andrews Air Force Base.
Oh yeah, things are going great over there. Repeat after me: Our policy is not in disarray. Our policy is not in disarray…
