I haven't heard of any.... but I'm certainly not an Iraq expert.

What would be *really* interesting in Iraq is delegable proxy;

invented by Warren Smith and, perhaps, simplified by me as Fractional 
Approval Asset Voting. I really should put up a page on Asset and 
FAAV. Warren, of course, is occupied promoting Range Voting....
