[casi] Iraq set for economic reform



http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3126522.stm

I am concerned about the clear bias in the above story.

You clearly report this as a positive thing quoting only people who
approve. You really should have got a quote from someone who is
concerned about what these changes mean for Iraq's sovreignty, its
people and any future legitimate government.

Your description of "the interim Iraqi administration" fails to
inform readers of the provenance of these 'reforms'. A better
description would be: "the US appointed Governing Council".

You failed to quote the old tax rate of 45% which it is important to
know.
