World UPDATED: 13:13, June 17, 2005 Roundup: More Sunnis to be in Iraqi Constitution Drafting Committee while violence surges Iraq 's Shiite and Sunni Arabs struck a deal Thursday to add more Sunni members to Iraq's constitution writing committee, amid a renewed wave of violence across the country. The 55-member committee originally included two Sunni Arabs, but under the deal 15 more Sunnis will be brought into the committee tasked with drafting a constitution by Aug. 15. The agreement ended weeks of wrangling over the size of representation by the Sunni minority. Another 10 Sunni Arabs will serve as consultant members of the committee, according to the deal. The agreement raised hopes for the political process in the violence-ravaged country, which has threatened to unravel as time is running out for the parliament committee to meet the Aug. 15 deadline to write a permanent constitution, which will be put to a referendum by Oct. 15.

Seven Iraqi soldiers were killed and 17 wounded when a suicide bomber blew up a truck in front of an Iraqi army headquarters in central Tikrit, 180 kilometres north of Baghdad, an Iraqi army officer said. Three other Iraqi soldiers were killed when gunmen attacked their patrol in south Baghdad, while two other people working in the oil ministry were also shot dead by gunmen in southeast Baghdad. Two US soldiers were also reported killed in a bomb explosion near Samarra, north of Baghdad, on Saturday, bringing the total US military personnel casualties since the March 2003 invasion to 1820, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures. The US death toll includes 14 US marines killed in a single roadside bombing on Wednesday in the western town of Haditha, in the Euphrates valley. It was one of the deadliest single attacks since the invasion.

Based on the law of “universal jurisdiction”, characteristic of Belgian law concerning genocide and war crimes, General Franks was identified: "for ordering war crimes and for not preventing others from committing them or for providing protection to the perpetrators." The law suit does not solely implicate General Franks, who was obeying orders from higher up:

US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said a new constitution would help undermine support for Sunni Arab rebels. "It's important they stick with their timetable," he told a Pentagon briefing, echoing his earlier call to Iraqi leaders "to get on with it". A US military statement said the patrol was investigating explosives when a roadside bomb went off, killing four soldiers, and wounding five near Baiji, an oil refining town 180km north of Baghdad. The soldiers then came under small arms fire. A contractor was also wounded. A large crater on the highway and an account from Iraqi police suggested US vehicles had been struck by one of what appears to be a new breed of roadside bomb or landmine.

The founders of the US wrote the framework of the government so that the US Constitution remains above all laws and all leaders. Not even the president is above the Constitution to paraphrase what was once said of the king of England and the Magna Carta. The Bill of Rights was created to ensure individual liberties could not be trampled by a panicky Congress passing repressive laws or by a runaway presidency demanding more federal police power.

Home Reference Home Constitution of the United States Preamble Article I Article II Article III ... AMENDMENTS Introduction The Constitution assigned to Congress responsibility for organizing the executive and judicial branches, raising revenue, declaring war, and making all laws necessary for executing these powers. The president is permitted to veto specific legislative acts, but Congress has the authority to override presidential vetoes by two-thirds majorities of both houses. The Constitution also provides that the Senate advise and consent on key executive and judicial appointments and on the ratification of treaties. For over two centuries the Constitution has remained in force because its framers successfully separated and balanced governmental powers to safeguard the interests of majority rule and minority rights, of liberty and equality, and of the central and state governments. More a concise statement of national principles than a detailed plan of governmental operation, the Constitution has evolved to meet the changing needs of a modern society profoundly different from the eighteenth-century world in which its creators lived. This annotated version of the Constitution provides the original text (left-hand column) with commentary about the meaning of the original text and how it has changed since 1789 (right-hand column).
