Allawi time

It is puppet election time in Iraq. You know what that means? It means that Saudi media will now start promoting Iyad `Allawi (former puppet prime minister/car bomber/Saddam's henchman/embezzler-in-Yemen). Here, the mouthpiece of Prince Salman (Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat) interviewed Allawi. Notice that they did not press him on the recent defection of key members of his parliamentary bloc. He complains that people can't visit Saddam's tomb by order from the Maliki government.
