Patrols as well and one getting a lot of play is increasing the number of non-islamist members in the assembly writing the new constitution and also increasing to two-thirds the vote to ratify any of the deal in any referendum which would make all parties, religious or secular, and they would have to come up with serious concessions to pass. back to you. >> jim, thank you. lets bring in mark ginsberg who served as u.s. ambassador to morocco and deputy senior adviser to president carter on middle...
