From the With-Friends-Like-These Dept., in a story from [1] Breakingnews.ie:

Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi’s new government is considering offering an amnesty to Iraqi rebels who fought the US-led occupation, perhaps even pardoning those who killed Americans.

“If he was in opposition against the Americans, that will be justified because it was an occupation force,” Georges Sada, Allawi’s spokesman, said of the rebels. “We will give them freedom.”
