No one should be surprised at this. Our military is relying heavily on info from Iraqi citizens to find these remaining elements. Some bad guys will get through our defenses and cause some problems, it is going to happen. If this continues, I would start to worry. But I would bet it will get easier now that they have Saddam in custody.

"We were badly infiltrated," a U.S. official told the network - but the names found in Saddam's briefcase are a "gold mine."

Anyone heard or seen Tom Daschle anywhere lately?

It's too bad that Saddam's capture was reported at all before all the leads could be followed up on.

You will be happy to know that the odious Julian Phillips on Fox and Friends agrees with Dean.

I really must send another note to Roger Ailes.

Tough enough with the spies and traitors put in place by the US State Dept which wants Bush out and America's allies down.

Maybe they will quit sending out our soldiers without adequate protection and backup.

Perhaps someone on the Intelligence Committee made a satellite call to Iraq and tipped them off...someone fat and ugly.

As long as they were politically correct and didn't offend anyone when they were selecting people for the security forces, that's all that matters.

Thank goodness the government doesn't screen the people who get on our commercial aircraft.
