Is this how neoconservatives Bush & Cheney's Iraq war to impose democracy on Iraq was supposed to end? Iraq's Maliki Seeks Tighter Media Grip

From The Wall Street Journal:

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has proposed a series of laws that lawmakers, Western officials and nongovernmental organizations say could curb democratic freedoms in Iraq.

If successful, the push would tighten government control over political parties, NGOs and the media, aiding Mr. Maliki's efforts to centralize authority over the country as the U.S. role in Iraq dwindles.
