Our Wonderful Iraqi Allies
This is outrageous...and dangerous as well. The Maliki government allows two high-ranking, murdering crooks to go free after they--obviously--intimidate all the potential witnesses. This was a very high profile case, a real test of whether the Maliki government would insist on justice that punishes Shi'ites...in this case, Sadr-related Shi'ites who were alleged to have been massively corrupt and to have operated death squads out of the Ministry of Interior.
You have to wonder what impact this--plus the visit of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad--will have on the Sunnis, who think the Maliki government is just a bunch of camouflaged Iranian agents, in any case. I'll be especially interested to watch the reaction of those Sunnis in the Community Awakening Councils--i.e. the former jihadis--who switched over to our side in the past year and have been having trouble getting cooperation from the national government.
