I guess they waited a month to announce his capture so they could act on whatever intel they got out of him before the word got out.

Serves him right.

Still...when oh WHEN are we finally gonna' nail Zarki himself? That guy just gets on my nerves.

[Lurker]

I hope they interrogated him with a blow torch and a rusty pair of pliers.

I beleive this is the guy they caught:

AMIR RASHID MUHAMMAD AL-UBAYDI

He was the former advisor and oil minister for Saddam. This guy is the 6 of spades on the playing deck. Big fish, closely connected to Zarqawi. He is suspected to be the chief financier of the insurgency, very well connected. There were rumors of a big fish being caught and some speculation had it that Zarqawi himself got nabbed because of the buzz in-country.
Lets hope he is singing.

Good news for the morning.

This real news will get lost in the boring-ass hoopla of Katie Couric's chair change. Not that the LameStream Media would cover it anyway--good news from the war doesn't interest them. At all.
