BAGHDAD, April 17 -- The Shiite Muslim bloc leading the new Iraqi government will demand the removal of all top officials left over from the era of former president Saddam Hussein, a top official said. The move would be part of a purge that U.S. officials fear could oust thousands of the most capable Iraqis from military and intelligence forces the United States has spent more than $5 billion rebuilding.

I dont think this is good news since a lot of smart minds in various industries will be lost; but then again I dont blame them for wanting to purge out the old blood, especially as new mass graves continue to be found. Even the chance that they knew about those kinds of killings and looked away makes you a little suspicious at the least. What do you think?
