Iraq Awakening Council members switching to Al-Qaeda

 The New York Times reports, citing unnamed Iraqi government officials, that possibly hundreds of the US affiliated Awakening Council members have switched loyalty to Al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia in recent months. Part of the reason for this is due to the belief that the Shiite-led government is working against them. Officials also claim that possibly up to thousands of others on government payroll covertly supports insurgency.
