THEY SING Sunni anger was being fuelled by Iraq's Prime Minister
Nouri al-Maliki. Maliki is a Shi'ite sectarian
to the end, to his core. He couldn't look at a Sunni Iraqi
without seeing a terrorist, and he treated them like that. And on top of that, he just turns
out to be just spectacularly breathtakingly corrupt. And the Americans,
in their blindness, kept him in power forever and ever, and they could've gotten rid of him,
they could've pushed him out. Dexter Filkins had been reporting
