Telling Detail from Iraq.

Just a telling detail from Iraq's referendum vote.

On Saturday, when current Iraq President Jalal Talabani and Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari went to the polls, they didn't ceremonially drop their ballots into voting boxes in their home precincts. They voted inside Baghdad's Green Zone, where they live and work and spend most of their time, protected by a cordon of troops on the perimeter and watched over by specially trained commandos wherever they go.
