[Charette Douglas]

Can anybody confirm or deny this?  I copied this off QRZ.com.

Iraqi Ham Radio QRT

Dear All:

I got confirmation from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific
Research, to close down the activity of Amateur Radio in IRAQ, until the
security situation becomes better.

May be this is a kind of miss-understanding from Prime Minister Mr.Al
Maliki, and coalition forces (American troops) .. 
But we send them clarification regarding the issue and the turn of
Amateur Radio in Iraq, I send you this time to inform you that all
activities of Amateur Radio in Iraq will suspended for unknown date or
time, and there will be no Amateurs work in Iraq, for Iraqi's and
foreigners.

Congratulations to Mr.Bush and Blair for his freedom and democracy
brought to NEW IRAQ and new strategy of impose the law. 
If you think you can support Iraqi Amateur Radio in Iraq , you need to
talk to the creators of Democracy and Freedom.

I apologize to my language and hearing from you will not change anything
on the ground any more..

Hope to see you all in better security situation and new strategy to
impose the law in Iraq.


My regards.
