Volume 4 includes: BEYOND THE WALL Moqtada
al Sadr and his militia, the Mehdi Army, have been America's most
intractable opponents in Iraq. But after recent attacks launched by the
US and Iraqi military against Sadr strongholds, cease-fires were
negotiated and the Mehdi Army melted away from the streets. Has the
Mehdi Army finally been defeated, and is this the end of the armed
Shiite resistance to the occupation?
RE-AWAKENING SADDAM'S TRIBAL STRATEGY After
four years of bloody insurgency, the war changed abruptly when America
began allying with Sunni militias called 'The Awakening movement'. Will
this balance hold, or is the United States arming both sides of future
sectarian battles?
THE DETENTION IMPERATIVE Hundreds
of thousands of Iraqis have been detained by the US, one and a half
million Iraqis have had an immediate family-member detained, almost
every Iraqi knows someone who has been through the US detention system.
Few American institutions affect the lives of ordinary Iraqis more
directly and profoundly than the US detention system. But once Iraqis
are swept up in the system, there is no clear way out.
