Luxury of 'freedom' brings transparency and accountability-

Iraqi lawmakers refused to vote on parliament's 2006 budget on Saturday, saying the chamber meant to spotlight government corruption had failed to provide transparent records on its own spending.

In an extraordinary session, parliament's finance committee failed to win backing for a 110 billion dinar budget as it faced a barrage of questions on everything from millions of dollars spent on furniture to conference budgets.

"What do you mean by extra services? We want a full explanation in the national assembly," said parliamentary deputy Hanan al-Fatlawi.

The grilling came ahead of an October 15 constitutional referendum and elections in December that Iraqi leaders hope will ease deep sectarian and political divisions.
