The big bad wolf called Al Qaeda.....huffed....and puffed.....then gave up. The insurgency is on its dying legs.

Oh come on guys, let's not be silly. Do you think insurgents/Al Qaeda would willingly let go of this guy because of weakness. Hell, if they were weak, shouldn't they have killed him.
There's more to this story then is being let on.
To: Dog
Michael Moore will be extremely dissapointed.

It would appear they wanted their family/clan to live.

Good, I didnt think he would survive.
It must be hard keeping up with a prisoner while you are being hunted like dogs.
By this time next year Iraq will look much different imo.
To: ChicagoRepublican
Are you suggesting that he was rescued or escaped?
To: ChicagoRepublican
There's more to this story then is being let on. I would not be trusting this Gov. until I reviewed this situation very carefully.

Remember the media report of fighting inside Al-Qaim..and the US military said it wasn't the Marines fighting.......it was no doubt this man's tribe fighting AQ and handing out payback to Zarqawi's crew.

I'm not so sure who blinked here. Didn't they say they would let him go if we left? We left,they let him go.
You know this "Governor" is at least tacitly on their side ,or he would have been killed.

Good news. Can you add me to your ping list please? :-)

I'd have to say I might tend to agree with ChicagoRep at this time - Something odd about this - (no reason to release this guy - killing him or letting him go makes of little difference to al Qeade).
I'd speculate that this "governor" is now under extreme "interest" of US Forces - He has been playing both sides if I had to make a guess - (he isn't alive because these thugs are turning weak, he is alive because he is in bed with them in some way or another).
Just my take as of now -
To: builder
We didn't leave...show me a news report that said we have withdrawn from the area..

The developments came the same day that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in Iraq for a one-day visit.
Maybe they didnt want tp piss Condi off.
