CIA connected former baath party new head of Iraqi government

Iyad Alawi, an Iraqi neurologist known for his close ties to the Central Intelligence Agency, was chosen Friday to be the country's interim prime minister when the Americans transfer sovereignty here on June 30.

Dr. Alawi, a secular-minded Shiite leader, was a compromise candidate endorsed by Lakhdar Brahimi, the United Nations special envoy, after days of intense negotiations involving Iraqi leaders and American officials.

With a resume like that I can see why he was picked, *cough* PUPPET *cough* oh, excuse me...
