TIME Aren't you really fighting Muqtada al-Sadr's followers...
Well, I don't know. We really don't know. We have arrested a lot of people in Najaf, and when we ask them who they're with, they say they are not with al-Sadr's Mahdi Army. The crimes that have been committed have been quite obvious. You visit Basra now and see the destruction of the oil pipeline. Or if you go and ask the [families of the] people who were killed, the innocent bystanders, and you go and meet the families of the policemen who were killed in Najaf ... These are really acts of criminals...

SHOWDOWN Both the U.S. and Muqtada al-Sadr have much at risk in the battle for Najaf...
