SIGNS OF PROGRESS

A huge step. Good for 'em.
Iraqi officials agreed on an interim constitution today, and likely will sign the document on Wednesday, an aide to Governing Council member Ahmed Chalabi said.

"We just broke out . The fundamental law has been concluded. An agreement has been concluded. There is consensus on every single point," said Entifadh Qanbar, representative Mr. Chalabi, head of the Iraqi National Council...

The temporary constitution made up of about 60 articles will enshrine a bill of rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and civilian control of the military.
