CWN Editor's Note: The bishops of the Chaldean Catholic Church have issued a call for the people of Iraq to “give priority to the public interest rather than partisan agendas,” as accusations of vote fraud and human-rights abuses escalated following the country’s parliamentary elections earlier this month.
