Well not no more, thank god! All fixed now. We have that on the authority of no less a figure than the Iraqi prime minister:

On a day when Bush presumes to lecture the United Nations about that body’s lack of initiative in terms of "spreading freedom," Sahar’s entry on the loss of freedom for Iraq’s women seems more than apropos:
