RE: Independent's interview to al-Sadr and denial coming from Sheikh Ahmed al-Shibani, the official spokesman for al-Sadr's office in Najaf

***

Dear Editor,

Once again, today too I’ve tried to find in your newspaper something on that denial about the Muqtada al-Sadr's interview the Independent gave so much space on Monday. Nothing. Not even two words on that denial coming from Sheikh Ahmed al-Shibani, the official spokesman for al-Sadr's office in Najaf.

Do you confirm that interview (in this case the official spokesman for al-Sadr's office in Najaf is a liar who denigrated your newspaper) or you deny that interview (in this case the liar is not the official spokesman for al-Sadr's office in Najaf).

In both cases, I believe the Independent’s silence on this delicate, important matter, won’t suffice to restore credibility to your newspaper.

Kind regards,
