Here's hoping one of the six is al-Douri! [fingers crossed, but not holding breath]

More excellent work -- where's the media? Oh that's right, they are "sexing up" their lie about an imminent threat and casing Janet's boob.

Yes! oh please make it so!

FWIW, an AFP report seems to have a little bit more info. Seems two of the six are big guys:

"In Tikrit, which like Samarra lies within the insurgency-dogged 'Sunni Triangle', American forces detained six Iraqis, including two senior members of a network Saddam Hussein loyalists in an overnight raid in the ousted leader's hometown."

"Meanwhile, in northern Iraq, Kurdish security forces arrested a suspected member of the Islamist extremist group Ansar al-Islam as he tried to flee Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq, a political official said Friday. The source said the man had not been arrested over Sunday's twin suicide bombings in the Kurdish town of Arbil that killed at least 105 people. Ansar al-Islam, which controlled an enclave of northeast Iraq before being crushed by US forces at the end of March, is suspected of links to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network."

It's been a good 36 hours or so and I've not seen a word in the news about who these two senior guys are. If Izzy isn't one of them, they must be getting closer.

I may have missed something over the weekend, but I've not seen a word on these guys' names. It has been a good 3 days or so since their capture. I'm still curious about who they are.
