Nearly 1,000 Shiites loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr took to the streets in the Shu'la neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq Monday, July 9, 2007, demanding the release of Sheik Nasser al-Saidi and other detainees.

1. Regrettably, this is just the tip of the iceberg. This has been happening all along,

famously including the young sons of Sheikh Mohammed, then age 7 and 9:

from the link:
"Yousef al-Khalid, 9, and his brother, Abed al-Khalid, 7, were taken into custody in Pakistan in September when intelligence officers raided an apartment in Karachi where their father had been hiding.
He fled just hours before the raid, but his two young sons, along with another senior al Qaeda member, were found cowering behind a clothes closet in the apartment.

The boys have been held by the Pakistani authorities, but this weekend they were flown to America, where they will be questioned about their father.

CIA interrogators confirmed last night that the boys were staying at a secret address where they were being encouraged to talk about their father's activities.... has been told that his sons are being held and is being encouraged to divulge future attacks against the West and talk about the location of Osama bin Laden, officials said.

"His sons are important to him. The promise of their release and their return to Pakistan may be the psychological lever we need to break him."
