I suggest making the deal, then stage a fatal attack on him to look like an al qeada operation.

Once the US Democratic Party Presidential Candidate labeled al-Sadr a legitimate voice in Iraq you couldt very well expect the Governing Council to disagree.

Capitulation? No f-ing way.

We better kill the bastard or I will take it way too personally.
Kiss heis ass? You gotta be kidding.

If they do this, they'll totally invalidate that "arrest warrant" they issued the other day, and will make a (further) mockery of the judicial system.
It's not unlike training a puppy: the minute you say "sit," you have to enforce it, even if you don't really care if the puppy sits, because once he believes that you lack the will to enforce your commands, it's all over.

Let the "discussion" end with the capture/kill of Sadr. End of story.

No deal. Kill them all!

You don't understand the real problem here. . . the fact that whatever they think of Sadr, most Iraqis - excluding Kurds - view the Governing Council as a bunch of US puppets.

This is known as the Spanish option.

"Using more force against him will not work and the Americans know this. Many more will die and even more radical elements could emerge if he is killed," he said. No, the Americans DON'T know this. In fact, we believe the exact opposite is true.
However, we also understand the need for CYA on the part of Iraqi politicians. They will need "cover" if we cut and run. (John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy, etc., add fuel to this fear with their treasonous comments.)
Council members said previous attempts to integrate Sadr into the U.S.-led political process had failed.
THAT part we believe.

I, too, think it's a bad idea. But I think the article has a familiar Reuter's spin to it.
Notice in the first paragraph, they "discussed a proposal" and in the second, the idea of not prosecuting is being leaked by ONE Shiite, who wanted to remain anonymous.
And these two paragraphs seem contradictory. They want him contained, but no force used against him, HUH???
"The members will not sign on the plan and no delegation will go see Moqtada unless we are sure he can be contained," said an official with close links to the 25-member council.
"Using more force against him will not work and the Americans know this. Many more will die and even more radical elements could emerge if he is killed," he said.

Seeing that it is known he will refuse the deal, this isn't a bad move.
To: Mark Felton
They're not IN-CHARGE yet. We are, I doubt we'll go along with that stupid decision.
The guy is a dead man.

The message from the Governing Council appears to be: Sadr stop the uprising (violence); then, you will be free to roam about Iraq building your Mahdi Army and when the US pulls out you can run the show! And, I don't trust this Sistani (sp?) either - this looks like Shi'te good cop bad cop arrangement.
