#1 shitani's 3 day silence and then his 'a little of this, a little of that' comment was pretty lame

- many people think he is afraid of 'the new Qusay' Sadr

#2 Meh, Zeyad can use that epithet for Sistani - his ass is on the line, and it's his country, after all. But I think it's in bad taste for non-Iraqis to use it, except in quoting somebody like Zeyad.

OK, Iranians, too. But only because Sistani still speaks with a thick Farsi accent, from all accounts...

#3 Mitch,

decent point

I notice that the ayotalloh, known as Shitani by a famous Iraqi blogger, hasn't spoken out about the little problem of hostage taken; maybe he doesn't consider it a problem.
