Well, at least they're trying some negotiations. I think Bremmer, after inciting the Shite violence, is all belligerence.

I think we've tried that tactic and it's led to this so far. I wonder if Bremmer has other ideas up his sleeve that can incite even more violence.

"Talks are under way with Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr, whose militiamen and supporters have taken up arms against occupation forces in Iraq.

Adnan Pachachi, a member of the US-appointed Iraqi Governing Council (IGC) told Aljazeera on Thursday they are discussing ways to end the rebellion.

"We pledge to respect his honor and his security," said Pachachi.

Al-Sadr's loyalists and members of his militia, the al-Mahdi Army, started an uprising against occupation forces on Sunday after Spanish forces opened fire on demonstrators in the southern city of Najaf, killing at least 20.

Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez admitted that Najaf and Kut were no longer under the occupation's control...

Meanwhile, US troops killed an Iraqi policeman on Wednesday evening after soldiers opened fire randomly when they came under attack in Tikrit, some 160km north of Baghdad.
