#1 "But in the majority Sunni Arab province of Salahuddin, where Saddam Hussein was born, 81 percent of voters rejected the draft, suggesting that Sunnis voted in large numbers against a constitution they widely perceive as favoring Kurdish and Shiite interests over their own."

One of the interesting aspects of the vote, if the stats are accurate and granular enough, is that it pinpoints where there should be rubble bouncing and where there should be continued investment in infrastructure. Just one of those curious little factoids that pop up on the radar from time to time and say, "Look at Meee!"
