		The selection of Iyad Allawi to become prime minister of the interim government of Iraq from July 1 is a surprising development, and, like everything involving Iraq, it is fully immersed in a variety of controversies.
		Allawi, the founder of Iraqi National Accord (INA), is a former Ba'athist and an ex-military man. He built his career as an anti-Saddam expatriate by consistently cooperating with, and supplying intelligence to, the British MI6 and the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
		Iyad Allawi is regarded as a secularist, a Ba'athist and a pan-Arabist.

	Who Is Allawi? By Ghali Hassan
		Iyad Allawi will switch his position from the Iraqi Governing Council (IGC) to be come the Iraq's new Prime Minister in the new named Iraqi Interim Government (IIG), another creature of the U.S. Nothing will change for the Iraqi People.
		The choice of Iyad Allawi as Iraq's prime minister of the upcoming IIG was "forced by the United States as a fait accompli on the UN and the Iraqi people.
		Allawi as: "big, husky man. The Baath party union leader, who carried a gun on his belt and frequently brandished it terrorizing the medical students, was a poor student and chose to spend his time standing in the school courtyard or chasing female students to their homes.

		So Allawi does have a certain amount of power, to the extent that the Americans have resolved that they do not want to be there forever, and seem to have recognized that they cannot, and that it must become as much a sovereign nation as possible.
		Allawi came of age as an adolescent in the years of rising Iraqi nationalism, at a time when there were two great opposing ideologies competing for the hearts and minds of young Iraqis: Communism and Baathism, which at that time represented an appeal to pan-Arabism, with a strong component of nationalism and socialism thrown in.
		As Allawi describes it, the relationship was formed while Allawi was in a group whose members were mostly wellborn and well educated, and Saddam Hussein was the thug, the enforcer, the guy they sent to go buy kebabs when they were having a clandestine meeting.

		Allawi is a Shiite Muslim politician and former exile "whose party was supported by the CIA".
		Allawi, before his 1976 resignation from the Baath Party, "was in charge of all Baath Party organizations in Europe." Following his resignation, "Hussein tried to lure him back with threats and bribes.
		Allawi's appointment was viewed as a move to pre-empt moves by the U.N and U.S. to draft someone seen as independent of the occupation forces.

	Allawi, Iyad (Harpers.org)
		Former CIA officials said that the new prime minister of Iraq, Iyad Allawi, was involved with a CIA-funded terrorist group in Iraq in the early 1990s; the group apparently carried out a bombing campaign, blowing up a movie theater and possibly a school bus.
		Prime Minister Iyad Allawi asked the United States to please hand over all its prisoners, including Saddam Hussein, by June 30, as required by international law, and he also asked the Americans to please return the Republican Palace, which they were planning to use as part of the huge new American embassy complex.

		Allawi, 58, is regarded by some U.S. officials as a compromise candidate well suited to lead Iraq until national elections early next year.
		But that tie, along with Allawi's links to the CIA and his three-decade absence from the country, could prove controversial among ordinary Iraqis, who remain deeply suspicious of politicians who lived abroad and were backed by Western governments.
		Allawi, a tall man with a round face, made his move after Shiite politicians on the council rejected Brahimi's top choice, nuclear scientist Hussain Shahristani, a Shiite, the official said.

	Iyad Allawi - Is Iraq's new strongman strong enough? By Ed Finn
		Allawi has to be tough enough to overcome his reputation as a Western stooge, but not so tough that he becomes a new Saddam.
		Allawi even had to delay caucuses for the temporary national council, originally scheduled for last weekend, in order to try and cajole more hold-out groups to join in the voting.
		Allawi, we're told, is a poor politician with no natural constituency inside Iraq who's been busily reassembling the armed forces along Baathist lines and reconstituting the Iraqi Secret Police.

		Allawi was never punished for these activities by the US, for the simple reason that he and his INA party was at the centre of US policy towards Iraq for over a decade.
		Allawi was at the heart of US policy towards Iraq because Allawi represented the best chance of organising a coup within Iraq, and leaving the Ba'athist system in place.
		Allawi was brought in to provide what the Foreign Office used to call 'an Arab façade' for the occupation, and to aid the US programme of recruiting and restoring Ba'athists to power.

		Re-enacting the killings, one witness stood three to four metres in front of a wall and swung his outstretched arm in an even arc, left to right, jerking his wrist to mimic the recoil as each bullet was fired.
		Allawi said that they deserved worse than death - but then he pulled the pistol from his belt and started shooting them.
