Today, we play the newest game at INCITE: What small furry scavenger does Iraqi "cleric" Muqtada al-Sadr most closely resemble?



Feel free to use the following NYT excerpt for inspiration:

It was near midnight Thursday, and the 50-odd reporters following the fighting here were hustled from their hotel by the local police and gathered for a press conference in the courtyard of a home where the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the country most powerful Shiite leader, was staying.

Just as one of Ayatollah Sistani's aides stood to announce that a peace deal had been struck, Mr. Sadr, the man most responsible for the bloodshed, scurried out the front door, across the lawn and into the street.

And then he was gone.

And now, for the choices:

A) a rat
B) mouse
C) ferret
D) weasel
E) aquatic marmot (for the Big Lebowski fans in the audience)
F) badger

Once again the question is "What small furry scavenger does Iraqi "cleric" Muqtada al-Sadr most closely resemble?" Try not to be distracted by the fact that his followers all so clearly resemble lemmings.

And the answer? There is no correct answer. Or rather, all the answers are correct in their own way. The guy's a shithead. A total hammer-pickle. And we haven't heard the last of him either.
