Iraqi Truce Eyed Warily in Light of WGA Strike

Leaders of the Sadr movement in Iraq and their Mahdi Army allies are reported to be reconsidering their cease-fire in light of the recent developments in the Writer's Guild Strike. Spokescleric Kazim al-Ghazi has been quoted as saying: "I don't see why we can't get a percentage of DVD sales and internet revenue, too. What are we, a bunch of Okies?"
Although it remains unclear just what DVD's or internet content is being talked about Sunni militias and CLC's [Concerned Local Citizens) have also grown restless. Several protesters in Ramadi could be seen waving signs that read "Hollywood Must Pay!" and "Producers are Greedier than Saddam ever was!"
Hollywood producers were unavailable for comment but they are clearly rattled by the implications. "We may just have to cut a deal," said one producer's minion who preferred to remain anonymous. "These people mean business. I don't know what they want, but they'll probably get it."
Spokespersons for coalition forces in Iraq refused to comment on the record, but indicated that if Hollywood producers caved to the demands of the Shia and Sunni then they would expect to go on strike next. "What are we, a bunch of Okies?" said one officer. "We're as good as the writers, directors, actors and militias."
