Iraq's Fugitive Vice-President

On Dec. 18 in Baghdad, a plane carrying Iraq?s vice president, Tariq al-Hashimi, was stopped before it could take off. Instead, Hashimi and his bodyguards were escorted off the aircraft. When the plane was finally allowed to leave, two of Hashimi?s men were arrested on charges of terrorism. Thus began a national crisis and the beginning of the unraveling of Iraq?s fragile democracy.
