#3 Sadr's "Hearts & Minds" campaign is winning them over in droves. Such immense popularity should guarantee him some very "interesting" times.

#4 We released the Iranian 'diplomats' we grabbed yesterday; I wonder if we stripped the data out of their computer while we had it? I had wondered if those arrests were somehow related to this attack earlier in the day, and I am still not entirely convinced the events are unrelated. We can bet that (at least) one of the Klashing Karbala Klubs is backed by the Iranians.

#5 We got info. And a lot of people will be wondering WHAT info we got that we haven't acted on yet.

If we're lucky, some of them will do dumb things in a panic.
