Is this… U.S. Forces Clash With al-Sadr’s Gunmen… related to yesterday’s attack on the churches? Inquiring minds want to know.

give this Snady Berger redux a little play Roger, “fair and balanced”, I think it should be mentioned considering the high level of chatter about it earlier:

Keith, that’s been discussed extensively in another thread.
One to which it was germane.
One in which the counter-points were stated.
Not this thread.
This thread’s about something else.
You wouldn’t be trolling, would’ja?
Having followed the whole multi-player Iraq chess match pretty closely, I speculated on all sorts of possibilities at first, too, but it seems to have been a nearly disastrous coincidence.
Apparently, al-Sadr was visiting in Najaf when a U.S. patrol inadvertently came near the house he was in. The militiamen guarding him freaked out and started firing, and both sides escalated before the U.S. figured out what was going on and backed off.
