“Mr. Hashemi, the country’s most senior Sunni Arab official, was targeted for prosecution within a week of the US military‘s departure from Iraq last December. Since, he’s been on the lam, telling anyone who will listen that Maliki, a Shiite community leader, is amassing dictatorial powers for himself and creating the conditions for a renewed sectarian civil war in the country. In an interview weeks before today’s verdict, the one-time staunch critic of the US occupation said he was looking to the US for assistance, and that unbridled sectarianism was threatening the country’s tenuous stability.”
