Sadr Crackdown (Finally!)
Sadr's militias have been a problem in Iraq since...well, Saddam was toppled. That's why this is the best news out of Iraq in a long time:
About 600 fighters and 16 leaders of the radical Shia militia, the Mehdi Army, have been captured by security forces in Iraq, the US military says. The statement said 52 operations had been conducted in 45 days targeting the militia, which is loyal to Najaf-based cleric Moqtada Sadr.
