Oh, this is great news!! Like one poster said above, thank goodness they're finding live people instead of bodies. Wonderful!!
Thanks Ernest.
I guess the mystery to me is, how a 200-cell prison gets built, and no one in the area knows anything about it...
Thanks.
The US press never print analysis like yours even in the rare moments that they print good news.
More proof of Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Muradiya is a small place just south of Baghdad. Muqdadiya is a town in the troubled Diyala province further up north east of Baghdad. Its not far from Baquba
thanks
I thought the aim is to catch terrorists and illegal weapons.
One example of not appearing even-handed is what happened yesterday after the execution of Saddam's deputy Taha Yaseen Ramadan. A US chopper picked up the body and handed it over to relatives in Tikrit for burial. His supporters (not just in Iraq but in much of the middle-east) interpreted this as US execution since the US handed back the body. Don't get me wrong, I think the guy deserve to be executed and I have no sympathy to his supporters, but It would have been much better in my view to arrange for his relatives or some intermediaries to pick up the body without US involvement.
how about 20 shipping containers with 10 to a 'room'?
Of course it is good news. The tide is changing. The Iraqi will start to get a lot more serious about taking control of their destiny. With funds being made available for police and better training and equipment they are starting to make an impact in some provinces. It will take time. One cannot rebuild what was lost in a short period of time that has any worth.
