News you were supposed to miss Powerline blog In response to the question whatever happened to al-Sadr, Reader Stephen Foley tells us that "if you look hard enough, you can still find stories about the 'popular Shiite uprising.'" He directs us to this story about a march by hundreds in Najaf on Tuesday calling on rebel Shi'ite cleric to pull his militia out of the Iraqi holy city. <font size=4>Mr. Foley suggests that at his next press conference President Bush should ask the assembled journalists to apologize for grossly exaggerating the extent of the problems with al-Sadr.<font size=3> Mr. Foley also picked up an interesting tidbit buried in this AP story about the prison situation. <font size=4>According to the report, the Red Cross wanted to keep its report about prisoner abuse confidential because it saw that U.S. officials were making progress in responding to their complaints.<font size=3> As Mr. Foley notes, "From the dramatic headlines I have seen about prison abuse scandal, I would never have thought that the US military actually responded to Red Cross findings and made progress in addressing these concerns." Me neither.
