#1 Well, well, boy wonder has figured out that he's in deep shit. How about hanging for Murder One, bubba? Rule of Law doesn't work like tribal society, son, kissing ass now won't get you off the hook for what you've done. I hope you swing, Qomboy.

#2 rule of law is one thing, politics another. ("shuffle the cards and look for the joker")Sadr is a player - he seems to realize that he made his move and lost, and that its now in his interest to go along, and that, with our hands full, its in our interest to leave him alone as long as he goes along. "he who fights and runs away ...."

a positive development nonetheless - better to have a sensible Sadr ont he sidelines, while we focus on the Baathi and the Al qaeda.

#3 Sounds to me like someone had a nice long chat with Mr Al-Sadr and explained, among other things, cause-and-effect, and tolerences, and what the fark happens when someone crossing over the line to him.

#5 It was probably explained to him (slowly, using small words and hand gestures) exactly how little it would bother the major Shia players if he was to have an accident.
