Iraq: Maliki reconciliation altered at last minute - has it been scuttled?

"Iraq: In the past few days we heard of Maliki's ambitious goal to end violence, end sectarianism, end the militia and ensure that the resistance forces lay down their arms and are employed into the political process.

We heard that there would be a timetable for withdrawal of foreign troops and, more importantly, amnesty for those who resisted foreign troops but did not engage in killing of Iraqis.

The last two clauses have been removed.

The US military had protested saying it could not abide by an amnesty for those who killed foreign occupiers. It wanted that portion of the amnesty removed."
