One day after the Pentagon identified his Mahdi Army as eclipsing al Qaeda in Iraq as "the most dangerous accelerant" of violence in that country, IraqSlogger has obtained a video of Muqtada al Sadr in which he rambles, questions the loyalty of deputies, and appears to struggle to control his own organization.
The Arabic-language video, apparently recorded in October, recently surfaced on Iraqi Web sites critical of Sadr.
