I don't know about the other charges, but that's typically how the American justice system works. They pile on the charges, figureing something will stick.
As for reading an Aljazeera piece... nah not looking for more propaganda. I'd rather read the NY Times. It's the Arab worlds answer to DEBKA.
BTW, Skunk you never answered the question. How do you know the original charge was phoney?

Because Sadr was no where near the site of the killing and the perpetrators were never caught. There is no evidence to suggest that Sadr had anything to do with it otherwise they would have arrested him months ago. And the timing of the announcement is more than suspicious.
BTW, if you had bothered to read the Al'Jazeera article, you would have noted how wonderfully unbiased it was and how it reported the official US line without adding any comments to the contrary.
Of course, if truthful unbiased reporting is not your thing, the NY Times is always there for a bit of salious made up news. I hear that their reporters have become rather too well known for it
