#3 Either he was an Iranian stooge, or he wasn't, and the Iranian stooges wanted him head, or one of the other Shiite factions wanted payback for his hanky-panky in past.

#5 no, no, no. First of all, it was a bodyguard. That means it was a MESSAGE. If they wanted to target al-Sadr, they would have done that. Second, al-Sadr just CHANGED HIS MIND about the election. He was against it, now he's neutral (because the polls indicate BIG support). So --- who would want to give ole buddy Moqtada a warning, without hurting him, that this was a no-no? Does the name Zarqawi ring a bell?
