Iraq bans travel on 'Election' Day --Iraqi officials on Saturday announced drastic security measures for the coming elections, including a travel ban between cities, the establishment of pedestrian-only areas within blocks of the polling places and plans to park bulldozers and ambulances in front of the polls. One U.S. general said it was "highly likely" that travel restrictions would be so severe that all private vehicle traffic would be banned across the country on 'Election' Day, Jan. 30.

Secrecy surrounds Iraq vote Concerned about violence, some political parties won't even reveal candidate lists. --Secret ballots are the cornerstone of any democratic process. But little more than two weeks before Iraq's first free elections on Jan. 30, the country is finding that secrecy is being taken to new heights. The identities of many of the candidates haven't been publicly disclosed and are likely to remain secret until after election day.
