For his part, member of the Muslim scholars commission Abdul Salam al-Kubeisi attacked the Governing Council in Iraq. He said that the US had established it to be a barrier between it and the oppressed people. He, in principle, voiced support for the initiative launched by the Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr to form a government alternative for the current Iraqi government.
