Sunni muslims question Iraq vote verocity

By SAMEER N. YACO'UB, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq (news - web sites)'s leading Sunni Muslim clerics said Wednesday the country's landmark elections lacked legitimacy because large numbers of Sunnis did not participate in the balloting, which the religious leaders had asked them to boycott.

Uh, so they are complaining about low sunni voter turnout when earlier they were hoping for low sunni turnout by boycotting the elections. That makes absolutely no sense to me. In fact, it looks like they were trying to get low sunni turnout so they could question the legitimicy afterwards...
