#1 bad precedent for Tater

#2 "We must confront such acts, since they are acts of terrorism - assaulting an elected government is an act of terrorism, Al Sadr said. He expressed concern that similar acts may be perpetrated against other elected officials in other governorates. Like you, perhaps? "

No we wont arrest Sadr himself any time soon, I think. What we MAY do, I hope, is take out key supporters whove infiltrated the Iraqi governance structure, and who have made parts of southern Iraq a hell, and interfered with the advance of the political process. I presume we are starting with those who are most politically vulnerable, and whom it would be hardest (politically) for Tater to go to the mattresses over.

#3 Except it was probably Iraqi forces that did the arresting and are holding him. Mookie can go suck a rock. Any order to arrest that guy would have come from the Iraqi government, not us.

#4 This latest surge of arrests indicate that we have a big monkey and he is talking rather than have dental work done. If that is so, then this is the beginning of the end.
The democrats can change their strategy from CUT AND RUN to SNEEK OUT IN THE NIGHT AND DECLARE VICTORY.
