Now I know why Casey Sheehan died!

For the Iraqi Constitution, of course!

Article 2:

First: Islam is the official religion of the State and it is a fundamental source of legislation:

A. No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established.

B. No law that contradicts the principles of democracy may be established.

C. No law that contradicts the rights and basic freedoms stipulated in this constitution may be established.

Second: This Constitution guarantees the Islamic identity of the majority of the Iraqi people and guarantees the full religious rights of all individuals to freedom of religious belief and practice such as Christians, Yazedis, and Mandi Sabeans.

So it's a little theocratic. Is that so bad?

Now let me read on, and see if I can find anything about that pesky status of forces agreement....

UPDATE I shouldn't be snarky, of course. After all, in some respects they're doing better than Bush is:

Article 35:

First:

A. The liberty and dignity of man are safeguarded.

B. No person may be kept in custody or interrogated except in the context of a judicial decision. Article 35:

First:

No Gitmo, or Patriot Act, for the Iraqis. And not a second Abu Ghraib...
