...Iraqi security forces arrested a prominent commander..

The ISF is really starting to produce some tangible results. Good job. The Dem rebuttal after President Bush's speech practically made fun of them.

In this case, I'm sure the Iraqi Police aren't following the Geneva Convention, and may not offer him orange-glazed chicken. He may be in for a good 'ole NYPD Blues "tune up". He may just talk...

If Zarq has 5000 members in his org, then he has 5000 potential top leaders until he gets down to the last guy, who can't very lead himself, can he.

Well, they are reputed to use cellular, "need to know" organizational structure. If true, everyone caught must be made to sing.

They seem to be rounding them up faster and faster. They must be getting a lot of intel from those captured.

The other good thing is all the cash they are capturing with these big guys. It's getting to be quite an expensive proposition for Syria.

I read on some blog that there is a saying in Iraq, something to the effect: "If Death comes to your door, introduce him to your brother". Maybe there are some "introductions" going on.
