Heard somewhere that they are throwing their weight behind a hardliner muslim group, just hoping that isn't the case.

IMO, they are not really showing support for any one party. The goal is to create a government that gives all a voice in the country's affairs. Direct elections would likely put the Shiites in power since they have the greatest share of the population. The current plan is to have caucuses pick governmental leaders so there is more wide spread representation and so the US can hand control over to the Iraqis. The Shiites are calling for direct elections so they can get the most control. The UN has just today said they will look into the situation and determine what they think is the best course.
