The last paragraph was interesting:

<<One of the U.S. officials said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had a long and "very difficult" telephone conversation Wednesday in which she pressed the Iraqi leader for more flexibility, particularly on immunity.>>

1. Yes, the very last bit is extremely interesting.

"she pressed the Iraqi leader for more flexibility, particularly on immunity."

2. "But Condi, if you did nothing wrong, and you came as liberators, why do you need immunity?"
