I posted about this in GD Thursday night (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=5057699 ). The story had come out on Wednesday so it was too old for LBN. Unfortunately it got only one reply there (which I replied to, to kick the topic back up, but it sank like a rock again). This is a major story, which I'd found via a Huffington Post blog that called it a must-read. The article said that not only are Shiite soldiers in the Iraqi brigades taking orders from Shiite clerics, but some of them are waiting for those clerics to tell them when to turn on the Americans. The woman who replied said that's already happening on a limited scale, according to what she's heard from her brother, who's serving in Iraq.
