Good NYT article about Iraqi Legislature

Amid the constant car bombings, suicide vest bombings, assassinations, destruction of infrastructure, there is little reporting about the legislature in Iraq. I found this to be one of the most concise portrayals of the tribulations of the Iraqi Council of Representatives.

One telling fact is I learned is that the Council rarely has a quorum, meaning even if there is legislation to be voted on, in cannot by virture of parliamentary regulations.
