What Sistani said
There is confusion over reports that Ayatollah Sistani had issued a fatwa permitting Shiites to allow coalition forces to continue their operations. However, that appears to have since been denied, which leads in Beirut’s Al-Safir, but that also seems to be corroborated by the appearance on Iraq satellite of whom I believe was Sistani declaring his opposition to the invasion.

This requires more context, however, and I hope to provide some anon.
