Hopefully as these clowns spill their guts, more will be captured. Regardless of the eventual outcome. It again is a credit to how well the US/Iraqi forces are working at this point on all forms of intel and counter-intel.
The weeding out process shall continue for a long time, as you can very well surmise. The insurgency may in less then a year be pronounced to be a dead issue in Iraq, and only remaining concerns at how well the centralized Iraqi Federal government performs it's mandates.
But I for one can see bands/pockets of these groups linger and on occasions carry out heinous crimes, because they have no other goal in life.
The ongoing process of eliminating the country of Islamist will take many years, providing the gift handed down to them is carefully maintained.
I sense future outside money and business deals shall properly influence the next Iraqi government elected to take due pains in the total eradication of jihadist from their land.
And this is good. Let them slowly evolve into a partly industrialized nation that can have good influences throughout the mid east instead of being the hindrance they where.
