After a long stalemate on the political front in Iraq, some progress is finally being made. Unfortunately, it's been accompanied by an upswing in violence as more than 50 people died in a series of bombings and shooting across the country on Wednesday. Iraq's Sunni Vice President, Tariq al-Hashemi met with the country's highest ranking Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani to review a 25 point plan aimed at ending the sectarian conflict and violence in the country through political reform. Ayatollah Sistani was said to be generally approving of the plan, which includes a "blanket pardon for Iraqis who took up arms against the government and the U.S.-led coalition forces in exchange for laying down their arms and joining the political process."
