Detainees to vote on constitution?

The LA Times reported today that the Iraqi Independent Electoral Commission is considering allowing detainees in Abu Ghraib the chance to vote in October's referendum on the soon-to-be-finished constitution.

Few could deny that Sunni cooperation and participation in the vote is key for the future peace and security of Iraq. The only active Sunni party, Iraqi Islamic Party, has lobbied for the vote for detainees, mostly Sunni young men.

This degree of Sunni involvement is already in strong contrast to the last vote for the Constituent Assembly, in which a Sunni boycott led to only 2% participation.

It is unclear whether the US military will approve of and/or facilitate activities by the Independent Electoral Commission in its detention facilities.
