From CNN "Mohammed Baker al-Alum, a leading Shiite politician, announced Saturday that he was suspending his membership in the U.S.-appointed Iraq Governing Council in protest of the massacre at the Imam Ali Mosque."
When were they appointed? Who chose them, Bremer?
My slant on the council is partisan, I admit. I'm a big fan of George Bush and a supporter of Paul Bremer.
I intend to revise the article to reflect my belief in a slow, steady progress from total US/UK dominance of Iraq to full independence. I will emphasize power held (or "claimed") by Bremer's civilian administration. I'll use words like granted by the CPA, etc.
AFAIK, Bremer's group will cede power to Iraqi civilians in stages, subject to BREMER'S opinion on whether the locals are ready and able to put democratic principles into practice.
Please, everyone, watch my edits closely to ensure that I don't indulge in wishful thinking or similar fantasies. And please help me refrain from slyly injecting pro-US propaganda into the articl too. -- Uncle Ed 19:12, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

What is the legitimacy status of this government under "international law"?
After a little research, I'm pretty sure the official name was "Iraqi Interim Governing Council"(obviously emphasis added); however, I would suggest a move to Iraqi Governing Council, a very common abbreviation for the full correct name that gets many more google hits than either that or the current name. Of course the first line of the article would say the full name. Is there agreement?-- Pharos 03:17, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the official name was "Iraqi Interim Governing Council"(obviously emphasis added), but the abbreviated "Iraqi Governing Council" is by far the most common form.-- Pharos 02:24, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
