My understanding is that the Iraqi’s will have legal custody, but the US will still have physical custody. Has that changed?

No, it hasn’t. However, I have heard several reports that there plans to have a physical hand-over from a US official to an Iraqi one as a symbolic gesture of the transfer. If that happens, on Iraqi tv, it could have a huge boost to Iraqi morale.

No doubt. And for American morale too, I think.

It would be way more interesting if the headline read “Iraq to stage massive figgy pudding eating contest.”
