Hypocrites and Bullies

"The US-led occupation authority in Baghdad has warned Iraq's interim government not to carry out its threat of declaring martial law, insisting that only the US-led coalition has the right to adopt emergency powers after the June 30 handover of sovereignty."

So who is really in charge of a "sovereign" Iraq?

US officials quote the Iraqi (ahem!) constitution, plus (ahem!) United Nations Security Council resolution 1546 to back up their claims. Constitution? UN? Since when does Bush & Co care about either of them?
