'Iraq's top Shiite religious leaders have told anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr not to disband his Mehdi Army,..."

I am calling BS on this CNN article! Absolutely no mention of Sistani. If this was an honest article they would have mentioned Sistani telling al-Sadr not to disband. They don't mention him.

THIS ARTICLE IS CNN FRAUDING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC -- AGAIN!

But al-Sadr spokesman Salah al-Obeidi said al-Sadr has consulted with Iraq's Shiite clerical leadership "and they refused that." He did not provide details of the talks.

I agree with you, avacado. CNN's sole source in the article for their claim is al-Sadr's spokesman. CNN is notorious for this kind of nonsense.

If Sistani did not say it, it did not happen. CNN is full of Bravo Sierra.

Yes I have a great doubt that Sistani told him to keep his terrorist militia knowing that this will lead to more fighting.
