I hope they'll soon be seen "hanging around" Baghdad.

From the MSNBC story linked at post#59 we have this:

****************************************

The Defense Ministry was carrying out operations to capture the would-be recruits, both men said.

“Most of them were members of the same tribe and came from the same area,” Jabr said but refused to give specifics because of the ongoing operation. Neither Jabr nor the Defense Ministry official would give details on any arrests.

“The 421 were supposed to be in control of the entrances to the Green Zone and internal squares. I mean they were going to be in charge of security in the Green Zone in the future,” Jabr told AP.  “They were going to carry out operations. Most of them are wanted terrorists” using false identification.

It will take some time to process them. I understand that we're short of Korans and have back ordered the 300 thread count sheets, more memory foam mattresses and goose down pillows. Ramsey Clark and the ACLU need time to prepare objections to the arrests and MSM is investigating mistreatment of the prisoners before releasing just 1/2 the story. John Kerry is demanding overview authority be set up in congress before any of the prisoners are questioned or mishandled by our military. Jimmy Carter will be going to Iraq soon at the requests of relatives of the accused to witness the handling of the young men who claim that they've done nothing wrong. It is not known if Miranda rights have been given or lawyers assigned to each prisoner yet.
