I also wonder if they are all Iraqis .. or if some are from neighboring countries?

[onyx]

Excellent news. And from Reuters, no less.

[South40]

Heard US military officials say just this morning that Iraqis had begun targeting "soft targets" like civilians as it was a safer way of achieving their goal of terrorizing those who are there to assist them.

I guess these 46 didn't get the word.

[eddie willers]

Now there you go!

[jwalsh07]

Go Army!

Can we suspend the Colonels hearing for a bit while he interrogates the captured terrorists?

[Az Joe]

Let's go. Kill 'em all!

[ohioWfan]

Good. Good.

[Texas Eagle]

Let that be a lesson to them.
