Amer al-Khuzaie, Mr. Maliki’s adviser on reconciliation, visited South Africa last year to see if he could learn about how that country’s experience might apply to Iraq. As he toured the prison on Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela had been incarcerated, he asked the tour guide how many prisoners were executed during Mr. Mandela’s imprisonment. “He told me 125,” Mr. Khuzaie recalled. “This is an incomparable situation between us and South Africa,” he said, referring to the trauma under Mr. Hussein. “We would have a thousand in one day.”
