The Bush admin is building a huge wall around a Sunni area, imprisoning a whole community. What kind of ludicrous nonsense is this? What gives the US the right to start imprisoning whole communities? Malaki, the suppossed Iraqi leader has told the US to stop. Should the Bush admin take any notice of the Iraqi admin?

Iraqi PM asks for end to work on Baghdad wall
22 Apr 2007 19:31:02 GMT
CAIRO, April 22 (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said on Sunday he had asked for an end to construction work on a wall which would separate a mainly Sunni Muslim part of Baghdad from nearby Shi'ite areas.
"I asked yesterday that it be stopped and that alternatives be found to protect the area," Maliki told reporters in Cairo after talks with Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa.
The U.S. military said last week it was building the wall in the Adhamiya quarter of Baghdad to protect the minority Sunni community from attacks.
Maliki said he objected to the wall, even if the aim was to protect the district's inhabitants, rather than to separate the two religious communities.
