We wouldn't have this problem if we just erred on the side of caution and killed all suspects in Iraq.

It was in the "Breaking News" headline at CNN, so I figured there would be something else forthcoming.

This was reported long ago... but the question remains... how can they know?

If they didn't know they had him when they had him, how then do they know they had him when they didn't have him anymore?
