More purple fingers in Iraq

Following up yesterday's post on the Iraqi elections, this photo from Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish:

An Iraqi patient shows his inked finger after voting in the country's parliamentary elections at a special polling station on March 4, 2010 in Baghdad, Iraq. Special voting for about 790,000 Iraqi prisoners, hospital patients, doctors and security force members were held in Iraq ahead of the parliamentary elections. At least 17 people were killed in a string of attacks targeting special voting polling station. By Muhannad Fala'ah /Getty Images.
