Highlights/Thoughts
Click on the title of this posting to get the details of this article

1. The religious authority, al-Sistani, hailed the demonstrations witnessed by the country on Friday
2. He warned the Iraqi government on the current approach in the management of the state and invited them to take critical decisions regarding canceling privileges of members of the House, past and present provincial councils, senior officials, and told them to refrain from the development of new government positions because of the large sums of money it will take to fund them
3. He called for the House and the GOI to take serious and concrete steps to improve public services and noted that these measures should improve the power and the ration card items, provide jobs, and fight against rampant corruption in various government departments

Sounds like he's referring to Allawi's National Council group?
