Don't take the Journal (gave it up 25 years ago). These sentences are interesting:

"George Bush's administration recently praised a proposal for greater involvement by the United Nations in Iraq's political future. The plan, drafted by the UN's special envoy to Iraq, Lakhdar Brahimi, would let the UN choose, in consultation with America, ministers to run Iraq after the June 30th handover of sovereignty."

Who's proposing what to whom?
