[lit-ideas] US shuts down an Iraqi Shiite paper

Thousands of followers of Shiite cleric Muqtada
al-Sadr took to the streets of Baghdad on Sunday to
demonstrate against the US shutdown of Al Hawza, a
weekly journal published under Sadr?s editorial
influence. A tense standoff ensued outside the
newspaper?s offices between nervous American troops
and crowds of angry Iraqis chanting ?Where is
democracy now??
