A quick update on the Iraq Study Group report.

When this blog discusssed the Iraq Study Group's Report, it was mostly the military and political problems and suggestions that were presented. As a Lawyer, I should have also mentioned the suggestions regarding the legal processes in Iraq. Retired U. S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'connor is a member of the group, and thanks to her this blog can bring you some of the legal recommendations. The report recommended that the Bush administration provide "strong" support and funding for US Justice Department efforts in Iraq "to establish courts; to train judges, prosecutors, and investigators; and to create institutions and practices to fight corruption." The report stated that "new and refurbished courthouses with improved physical security, secure housing for judges and judicial staff, witness protection facilities, and a new Iraqi Marshals Service are essential parts of a secure and functioning system of justice." You can read the report for additional information.
