Sadr's ceasefire deadline is finally drawing coverage
The second informal ceasefire called by Muqtada al Sadr for his Mahdi militia is due to expire near the end of this month, and as yet, he has made no commitment to continue it. (Finally getting a little coverage. AP, Reuters.)
Apparently, the way the Sadr camp is structuring this, either Sadr makes an announcement to continue the ceasefire by Saturday (read Friday prayers) or the ceasefire ends and Mahdi commanders will go back to battle.
(Later: I zapped part of this post because it appears he will extend.)

I doubt it will get much coverage....unless they start killing Americans. The surge is working seems to be the only song the MSM knows.

There is also the fact that most of the media outlets have drastically reduced their personnel in Iraq.
And, let me say, that this may well turn out to be nothing. I haven't really been able to get a sense of the cost/benefit, at least in the near term.
The way this thing is being covered is that his people are pushing for the end. This maybe some great macro strategy or it may just be a question of him trying to stay on top of his horse.

You mean the journalists that get conducted tours in personnel carriers or the ones never leave the Green Zone?

Both. But less reporters there means less stories. Less stories means less bad news printed.
