So I may as well just come out with it: It is pretty suspicious, given the Neocon predominance in the CPA and in the upper reaches of the Defense Department that on April 2 AP reported of Muqtada:

"Results": [
    {
        "TypeName": "ORG",
        "Text": "CPA",
        "Start": 102,
        "End": 105
    },
    {
        "TypeName": "ORG",
        "Text": "Defense Department",
        "Start": 138,
        "End": 156
    },
    {
        "TypeName": "PER",
        "Text": "Muqtada",
        "Start": 188,
        "End": 195
    }
]
