In an attempt to quell bad feelings between Sunnis and Shi’ites, the Iraq parliament passed a law allowing former Ba’ath Party members to return to the posts they held during the Saddam regime; however, there is a possibility that the law could be overturned during an automatic review process. Separately, a spokesman for the Baghdad security plan held a news conference where he described the deteriorating infrastructure Baghdad residents suffer through. Otherwise, it was a light news day with only 21 Iraqis killed and 10 more wounded in recent attacks. Also, two American soldiers were reported killed.
