Some factions, including the Pentagon-backed Iraqi National Congress (I.N.C.), told TIME they may refuse to cooperate with the council. "We wish them the best of luck," says Nabil al-Moussawi, a chief aide to I.N.C. leader Ahmed Chalabi. "But at this point my advice would be that we not be involved."
