Shiites Leading in Hussein's Home Province (JOHN F. BURNS and JAMES GLANZ, 2/08/05, NY Times)

The first election returns from the Sunni majority heartland north of Baghdad showed Monday that a low Sunni turnout in Saddam Hussein's home province has given a lead in the voting there to a Shiite political alliance led by the southern clerics who were among Mr. Hussein's most bitter enemies.

Exquisite.
