I sincerely hope our intention is still to apprehend him at some point. It is going to be pretty awkward if after the handover of sovereignty we have some difference of opinion with the Iraqi leadership as to whether Sadr should be detained. Obviously we'll arrest him if we want to, because we are still the big dog over there, but it certainly won't be a PR victory. And of course if he never comes to justice it will be one more firebrand who can claim to have beaten the occupiers, just like those thugs in the fallujah story I posted earlier this week.

You do realize that we aren't the party interested in arresting him. The arrest warrant was issued by an Iraqi judge. It's other shiites who want him for killing another cleric.

Like everyone else I'm glad we didn't have to reduce any mosques to rubble to end this standoff.
