Pump him for whatever information he has and then let the Iraqis hang him. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I used to have a cat that loved to catch a mouse then let it go and catch it again. And again and again. She would entertain herself for an hour just catching the mouse and letting it go. Think maybe that's what we're seeing here?

Well,sooner or later they will ACTUALLY catch this guy.
But he would be a high value target I hope the Iraqi's keep custody. They might be able to interrogate a "bit more freely" as in Jack Baur is having a bad day you better tell me what I need to know or you will be really huring type of day!

Both tell me crime is on the rise, it is the reporting methods and what is reported that changed.

Sorry, I don't get it. Who are you quoting?

BAGHDAD (AP) -- The leader of the al-Qaida-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq has been captured in a raid west of Baghdad, an Iraqi military spokesman said Friday.

Abu Omar al-Baghdadi was captured Friday in a raid in Abu Ghraib on the western outskirts of Baghdad, said Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, spokesman of the Baghdad security operation. U.S. officials had no confirmation of the capture.

"One of the terrorists who was arrested with him confessed that the one in our hands is al-Baghdadi," al-Moussawi said.
