So This Must Be What We Meant....

...when we said we were bringing Freedom and Democracy to the Iraqi people.

An article in Wednesday's NY Times reported that Lt General Aboud Quanbar, who runs both the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of the Interior in Iraq, has unveiled a plan to stop sectarian bloodshed in Baghdad by ordering tens of thousands of residents to leave homes they are occupying illegally.

Other parts of General Quanbar's plan include closing the borders with Syria and Iran, as well as having the government break into homes and cars it (emphasis mine) deemed dangerous, open mail and eavesdrop on telephone calls.

Hmmmm. Can't you just taste the Freedom?
