WASHINGTON, March 2, 2005 – A new State Department report hails human rights advances in Iraq since the coalition toppled the repressive Saddam Hussein regime in 2003. The 2004 annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, released this week, praised Iraq for conducting democratic elections and constructing a constitutional order under the framework of the Iraqi Governing Council’s Transitional Administrative Law.

“We believe events like these elections will increase the prospects for peace, provide a solid grounding for self-government in these countries and help create momentum for the improvement of human rights practices for all people participating in them,” stated the report on Iraq in the 28th edition.

We're having a VERY good week.

I expect a few more Democrats to kill themselves this very week.
