On August 28, Hadi al-Amiri (Badr Organization — secretary-general) told Iraqi tribal leaders, “We will begin legislating the Popular Mobilization Law,” and said he had spoken with the prime minister, who supported it. Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) and Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) also carried his description of resistance factions as rational people who defended Iraq and its sovereignty and fought the occupation and ISIS; Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) carried only the law and prime-ministerial-support lines. The evidence establishes cross-network carriage of Amiri’s statement, but not independent confirmation of the prime minister’s position or formal legislative action.
