Well, there was footage of the event and it did look like the clerics were doing just that, ie, helping to calm the crowd as mediators. It looks like CentCom will probably put together a platoon of muslim troops to go in there, betting dollars to donuts.

Yeah, I saw that too. I was just wondering about the cleric Sistani who issued the fatwa and our news agencies were making a big deal about it (which of course it would be). Then I heard Al-Sleazeera said it wasn't true.
