SAN FRANCISCO —
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A spokesman at the Pentagon said Friday that the Navy was reviewing the judge’s ruling to determine its next move, which could include an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
“Despite the care the court took in crafting its order,” said the spokesman, Cmdr. Jeff Davis of the Navy, “we do not believe it struck the right balance between national security and environmental concerns.””

Coalition forces capture Special Groups facilitator; disrupt criminal network
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces captured a suspected Special Groups facilitator early Saturday during operations to disrupt criminal element networks in the Qasarin area, north of Baghdad.
The targeted individual was reportedly a financial facilitator in the Qasarin area and aided in the planning of attacks on Coalition forces throughout the Diyala Province. The wanted individual was also reported to be an associate of other senior-level criminal element leaders involved in financial facilitation and attacks on Coalition forces.
Intelligence led ground forces to the target area where they captured the wanted individual without incident.
“Coalition forces will continue to apply pressure to criminal networks that are not honoring al Sayyed Muqtada al Sadr’s pledge to cease attacks,” said Cmdr. Scott Rye, MNF-I spokesperson. “Those that are honoring his pledge are contributing to making Iraq a safer place.
