Last week, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) announced an upcoming Q&A session with Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki.
IraqSlogger reports that today the CFR announced that, at Maliki’s request, his comments cannot be reported by any media or repeated by any participant in the meeting to anyone who might relay his comments to the media.
Maliki has asked to speak on this “not-for-attribution” basis, which is rare for a world leader speaking to an audience of hundreds of members of the CFR.
