#1 Article: "We strongly condemn the military operations and demand that they are halted immediately," Saleh al-Mutlaq of the Sunni National Dialogue Front told reporters. "We demand that the United Nations, the Arab League and humanitarian organizations stop these massacres."

This guy is obviously part of the "political wing" of the insurgency. Somehow, I suspect that if we pulled our boys out of Iraq today, the existing Iraqi government isn't going to make the distinction between a military and a "political" wing.
