The U.S. military says U.S.-led forces in Iraq have captured a prominent militant linked to al-Qaida ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

A military statement issued Saturday says Abdul Aziz Sa'dun Ahmed Hamduni -- also known as Abu Ahmed -- was detained on December 22. The military says Abu Ahmed was the deputy of Abu Talha, commander of a Zarqawi terrorist group in the northern city of Mosul.

In other news, Yasser Arafat is still dead...

But how about Idi Amin?

[Lazamataz]

Thank G-d they didn't capture Zarqawi yet again.

He must be the most captured terrorist in the world!

[shubi]

I just have a gut hunch that Zarqawi, OBL and many of these leaders are living in style in Iran.

You seen this yet?

Now let's bring Ted Kennedy and the other Dems on the senate judiciary committee over to Iraq so they can show us how to do a proper interrogation.

[camas]

nice time lag. 17 days.

[flyitproud]

oh but wait...I thought the Dems and Micheal Moore said the war in Iraq had nothing to do with the war on terror...not related at all.

[sam_paine]

.not related at all.

[MOORE] But of course we know there were no Al Qaida in Iraq until AFTER Bush started his illegal war....[/MOORE]

Another symptom of a bungled war where we didn't give UN weapons inspectors enough time to do their jobs so we could steal all their oil for Halliburton while Dick Cheney continues on his quest for world domination, nuking suboceanic faults in order to create massive tsunamis in Asia, unstopped by the oppressed of Venezuela, though Castro keeps telling the people to rise up against us.

"Well...Uh listen man...ah saw that Zarcowi dude yesta-day at a donut store in Memphis BwAAA HA HA"

[alancarp]

No, for that would be torture under any definition.

[mainepatsfan]

Maybe we should just threaten to put them in a car with Kennedy driving.

Not a chance -

Iran to hide UBL makes no sense for them - All it would assure is an immediate U.S. Military response (with the FULL backing of the American public) - This is the last thing Iran wants or needs -

Also, for UBL it doesn't fit his MO at all - to put him at the mercy of a Country which has a centralized Gov't -

Nope, UBL is where he has been for the past 3 1/2 years - Ekking out a survival in the one area US SOF aren't allowed to operate with autonomy (That is the PAK border region) -

As for Zarqawi, he is in Iraq and leading his thugs/killers - We will get him, but it has been damn frustrating -

Same idea, but was thinking more on the line of tending their rose gardens in Paris.

[pharmamom]

I have always thought that making them work at Chuck E. Cheese for the rest of their lives would be incentive enough to blab!

[alancarp]

Yes! Sharing a vehicle with a pig that could drown him would make any Muslim terrorist talk!

"But how about Idi Amin?"

He's still living in luxury with his harem in Saudi Arabia.

Could be we did capture him last week, but we had to let him go because we failed to read him his rights.
