US and Iraq Dispute Pullout Timeline, Troop Immunity

Mark Tran and agencies, The Guardian UK: "Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, today played down reports of an agreement between America and Iraq on a withdrawal date for US combat troops as she made an unannounced visit to Baghdad.... US officials say more fine-tuning is needed on a schedule for American troop withdrawals, immunity from prosecution for US forces and the handling of Iraqi prisoners. Iraqi officials, who are keen to nail down an agreement on US troop withdrawals, say the agreement is nearly done."
