Iraq Handed Sovereignty Two Days Early

Breaking news all over the place that the Coalition Provisional Authority has handed power over to Iraq, catching the world (and probably some terrorists) off guard.

The handover of sovereignty took place earlier in the day, at 10:26 a.m. Baghdad time. The transfer of power came two days before the June 30 deadline previously announced by the U.S.-led coalition.

It's like I've always said, sovereignty handoffs are always more pleasant sans the carbombs.
