CBC News:Iraqis march against U.S. occupation: "Shiite Muslims said they want an end to the U.S. occupation, and the establishment of a government that is not under U.S. influence. The crowd chanted and carried banners reading 'No to the foreign administration,' and 'We want honest Iraqis, not thieves.'' The message appeared to be in reference to Ahmad Chalabi, head of the Iraqi National Congress and one of the key players in the current round of U.S.-led discussions to form a new government. Chalabi was convicted in 1992 by a Jordanian court of embezzlement and fraud, and some Iraqis have criticized him harshly. "
