| | Iraqi Communist Party joins Washington's puppet administration in Baghdad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | At its first meeting on July 13, ICP leader Hamid Majid Mousa took his seat alongside the squalid assortment of Iraqi exiles, businessmen, clerics, political charlatans and outright criminals, such as convicted embezzler Ahmed Chalabi, that comprise the Governing Council. |
 | | Mousa personally met with Washingtons proconsul in Baghdad, Paul Bremer III, who is closely aligned to the most militaristic elements of the Bush administration, to press for the partys involvement. |
 | | Whatever the exact role assigned to Mousa, the ICP is committed, along with other council members, to curbing opposition to the occupation. |
