Your source is interesting.

MEMRI is ususally pretty informative. And generally not too biased.

I had note it and initmated this because they disclosed the warrant when it became convenient. I'd rather not take them at their "say-so".

What say so? Several articles mention the warrant in 2003 (including the Memri one above and one of your below). Deciding not to enact it and a trigger a million man riot isn't a totally unreasonable thing. Deciding they may as well once the riot has started and people are dying is something else entirely.

A valid claim. That said, Sadr ahs claimed that he is willing to stand trial before an Iraqi court that represents a democratically elected govt.

Sadr makes lots of claims. Many of them inconsistent and some of them probably dishonest. Who cares what some maniac has to say?

I could not find any sources to the contrary or to corroborate (only those which carried the same articles) so I'll admit that Sadr is incoherent and inconsistent (at least as seen in the media).

I think it's more than as seen in the media.
