The Transitional National Assembly met to vote as parliament began its third session Sunday. Nominations were taken from the floor and posted on a board. Ballets were then cast, collected and read aloud as a running tally was posted. After all the ballets were counted, the winner was announced. "It's done, we have three names -- Hajem al-Hassani for speaker and Hussein al-Shahrastani and Aref Tayfur for his two deputies," said Jawad al-Maliky (left), a senior member of the Shiite United Iraqi Alliance. The voting happened during the Operation IRAQI FREEDOM timeline
