Scott interviews Iraqi journalist Dana Taib Menmy about an article he wrote on the possibility that cleric Muqtada al-Sadr may return to Iraqi politics after a nearly three-year withdrawal. Scott and Menmy discuss who Sadr is, why he left, why it seems he may return and how that will impact both Iraqi politics and the stability of the whole region.
