As to my opinion re: the clam act . . . In all my dealings with any middle easterner [sp], [and these guys are just the same / even in family & person matters], I have found that they are very animated, vivacious, and excitable . . . UNTIL they are ready for the pay-off / or counter offer / or end of the negotiations . . .

It doesn't matter if they are making a deal for a camel / or a cadilac / it's always the same . . .

Then they clam up . . . and that's how you know it's reached the end . . .

You either accept what they've said / or offered / or you don't . . . the clam act is a sure signal that a plateau has been reached . . .

Indira says brother 2 WON'T comment on the Bank . . .

HUMMM . . . . Best . . . RR

US presses Iraq to issue amnesty for insurgents
The Bush administration is pressing the Iraqi government of Nouri al-Maliki to issue a "broad" and "painful" amnesty for insurgents, despite intense opposition to the proposal from politicians both in Iraq and the US, according to a senior administration official.

Amid growing anxiety in Washington over Iraq's escalating sectarian violence, the US is advocating more determined moves towards a national reconciliation with the Sunni community that dominates Iraq's insurgency, as well as a tougher line on the Shia militias.

"You need the government to move forward with a programme - it should include an amnesty in a broad fashion, a comprehensive amnesty proposal," said the senior US official, who asked not to be named.

The official was not explicit about the terms of the proposed amnesty, but he said "no successful amnesty is not painful or sweeping", and that no distinction should be made between those who have attacked coalition troops and those who have killed Iraqis.

As the US grapples with reversing policy decisions made under the initial occupation authority of Paul Bremer, officials told the FT that the Iraqi government should also implement big changes in the strategy of weeding out former Ba'ath party members from Iraq's public administration.

The senior US official said this policy should go from a "broadly wielded to a very narrow focus on a very limited cadre of individuals".

The amnesty issue is divisive in Iraq and the US, where the emotional question of how to honour American war dead - now totalling some 2,750 - has become entangled in the debateover the merits of an early US withdrawal. The White House has avoided giving explicit endorsement of a sweeping amnesty.

When Mr Maliki initially announced his reconciliation programme in June, members of the US Congress expressed outrage at his proposal to pardon insurgents who had killed US soldiers. Under a barrage of criticism, Mr Maliki backtracked.

However, Zalmay Khalilzad, the US envoy in Baghdad, has supported the concept of a broad amnesty. He said in July he would try to work with Iraqi leaders to "find the right balance between reconciliation and accountability".

Suggestions of an amnesty have also been opposed by Shia parties advocating tougher security measures against the insurgents.
