"Baghdad Will Burn"
ByDrum points to a McClatchy report claiming that Obama is withholding the detention photographs because of Maliki:
The official said Maliki warned that releasing the photos would lead to more violence that could delay the scheduled U.S. withdrawal from cities by June 30 and that Iraqis wouldn't make a distinction between old and new photos. The public outrage and increase in violence could lead Iraqis to demand a referendum on the security agreement and refuse to permit U.S. forces to stay until the end of 2011. Maliki said, "Baghdad will burn" if the photos are released, said a second U.S. military official.
