BAGHDAD - The suspected leader of an al-Qaida-linked militant network was captured Thursday by Iraqi military forces.

Abu Omar al-Baghdadi has been a key target for U.S. and Iraqi forces for years as the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella group of Sunni militant factions that is believed dominated by al-Qaida in Iraq.

“Barack says no torture. Now, all we get to do is hug and kiss them.”

Wait a minute! The report says he was captured by Iraqi military forces! That means they can do whatever they like to this guy, our troops are out of it. Or did I miss something here? If so, I stand corrected.

Sorry:-)
But of course One Ply because TWO PLY
is much stiffer and hence considered to be
“TORTURE!”
I wonder when the Demorats are going to take all Firepower away from Our Military since Bombs and Bullets and Grenades appear to cause more Injuries than “WATERBOARDING!”

You have a better source than I do, so I believe you. This is what Twitter said... But these are just one-liners:

URGENT — Iraqi government wrongly confirms the apprehension of Al-Baghdadi - again:
http://adjix.com/f7s6

BULLETIN — U.S. ARMY TELLS BNO NEWS THAT AL-QAEDA LEADER AL-BAGHDADI HAS NOT BEEN ARRESTED.

(I couldn’t read that link on a blackberry, but will try it again now.)

No, first we have to “Mirandize” him, furnish him a lawyer from the ACLU and then release him on bail in New York City so he can have all sorts of interviews on MSNBC, CNN and CBS. </sarcasm>

You forgot to mention that BO needs to shake his hand and make everything better.

al Rubaie, the Iraq security advisor is claiming the arrest also. As I said in this string several times, it's hazy info. We've killed and captured this guy several times, even had his corpse for awhile.

We'll have to wait until the jihadists talk about it.

Been a long time since we’ve captured a HVT. Let’s hope this leads to more.

Unfortunately this "Abou Omar Al Baghdadi" is low level Al Qaeda terrorist in Iraq and we are not sure if he is captured to start with. There have been news of his capture and death several times in the past and they were all announced by the Iraqis, but it turned out to be false reports.

My greatest fear my FRiend is that Obama extreme weakness has greatly emboldened our terrorist enemies in Iraq and elsewhere. Al Qaeda terrorist attacks have increased a lot in the last two months in Iraq such as those two terrorist attacks today that killed and injured dozens of people. If we leave Iraq per the Obama plan then we are allowing Al Qaeda in Iraq to revive itself in a fierce manner and at the same time the Iranian terrorist regime will take advantage of this and try to control Iraq through the Mahdi terrorist militia.

If the above happens, and it is very possible if we leave per the Obama plan then Iraq will fall under the control of the terrorists both Al Qaeda and Iranians. Soon after the terrorist will try to control all the Middle East and then we will have a disaster that we cannot imagine in our worst nightmares.

Not so quick there...I'm sure that could be considered torture too (depending on who is doing the hugging and kissing).
