U.S. Official Acknowledges Mistakes in Iraq (washingtonpost.com): "The U.S. administrator in Iraq, L. Paul Bremer, acknowledged Friday that mistakes had been made in the occupation of the country and invited former Iraqi army officers who served under ousted president Saddam Hussein to help establish a new national force.
Bremer's statements came the same day a rebellious Shiite cleric, Moqtada Sadr, threatened to launch suicide bombings if U.S. forces entered the holy city of Najaf, where he has taken refuge. 'We will all be time bombs in the face of the enemy,' Sadr told followers at Friday prayers."
