This is a few days old, but Edward Wong’s NYT analysis of the political machinations of Moktada Al-Sadr builds up to the following line:
He has become a great improviser, the Miles Davis of the war.
Wong in no way means to glorify Sadr or validate his positions. But coming on the heels of Gilad Atzmon’s latest call to jihad, I’d say that the above pushes the limits of good taste.
