Iraqi Prime Minister

Gotta a heads-up on the guy looking to run Iraq for the next few months.

Dr. Ibrahim Jafaari, leader of the Iraqi Dawa party. Dawa is islamist but this guy doesn't look to be an extremist. According to the NY Times he favors the current legal balance of religion and law in Iraq. It cites Islam of one of many sources of law, which means Sharia is not likely to be legally enshrined.

Good news for those interested in freedom and especially women's rights.
