Hakim said Sistani "didn't find anything that assures Islamic identity" in the agreement. "There should have been a stipulation that prevents legislating anything that contradicts Islam in the new Iraq, in either the interim or permanent phase," Hakim said. Shiite political leaders regard Sistani's reported displeasure as instrumental in persuading Bremer to support changes to his plan. "It's a trump card," one Shiite member of the Governing Council said. "For this process to work, for Shiites to support it, it needs to have Sistani's blessing." Oh please....give us a break Mr Mullah . He shows "deep concern" over loopholes in our plan not meting the "expectations" of the people of Iraq... where was his deep concern when Saddam was in power? What he is concerned with is his royal status as a "Mouth-piece of God". The Mullah Sistani is far better off now than he was months ago and he knows it. Let him make a little noise now when he would have been alot more muted before under Saddam. Wait till a little prosperity and individual freedom begins to unfold there in Iraq, these Mullahs may have to get real jobs ! Although Sistani is past retirement age now @ 72. slate.msn.com ;-)
