So after more than a year of "transfer of sovereignty" in Iraq, does the US interfere in Iraqi affairs as it accuses Iraq's neighbors of interfering? This is a former US puppet minister in Iraq: ""The Americans say they don't intervene, but they have intervened deep," said Mahmoud Othman, a Kurdish member of the constitution committee who said he met with U.S. officials Thursday and Friday. "They gave us a detailed proposal, almost a full version of a constitution."
