7:23   |   Ric Hickel couldn't understand it. The Marines had Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Mahdi militia, cornered. They were beginning to negotiate a surrender when he was let go. To the grunts, this was incomprehensible. But they still had a war to fight as the Battle of Najaf raged on. (Caution: strong language)
