On the one hand, its great that they actually have an "Iraqi Integrity Commission" and i'm amazed that they do! Especially in Iraq with the unbelievable black hole of corruption that has "disappeared" billion and billions of dollars.

On the other hand, and i have to come outright and say that i am not too familiar with Iraqi politics and i'm not sure that i want to be either with all the corruption etc etc., but i can't help but think that this is most probably political in nature. I wonder, is the Integrity Commission an equal-opportunity "stinger"? y3ne is it blind to sect, politics, interests etc etc? does it sincerely aim to get rid of all corruption no matter who the corrupt party is, wila is this just another method to get rid of those politicians they can do without?

Like i said, i don't know much about Iraqi politics, but these are just some of the thoughts of an everyday layperson..
