Eight lanes of traffic streamed toward Najaf. In cars and minivans, on buses and flatbed trucks, tens of thousands of men, young and old, sang and danced. As they passed the taxi carrying CPT’ers Peggy Gish, Greg Rollins, and David Milne, many smiled and waved “Hello”. Thousands more walked. They followed the path of the Grand Ayatollah Ali Al Sistani who had passed by not more than an hour ago.
