“Interrogations unveiled that among the captives was a key leader from al-Qaeda in Iraq armed group called Mohsen al-Arki, who faces charges of leading an armed group and carrying out murders and displacement operations in the district,” the commander also said.

“The situation in Khales district, north of Baaquba, is safe after a number of security operations were launched by Iraqi and U.S. forces,” he also said, praising the role played by tribal chiefs in fighting armed groups in Diala.

    so if we do not wack these guy what to do with them? I thinks we should wall off San Fransisco and let them live in utopia there, and integrate themselves into the caring nurturing society that the liberals have created. Just make the wall very tall.

    Yeah this guy would probably love SF. Most of these terrorists are gay anyways. I mean why else would they get 48 boys in Paradise? Probably a good question for Chairman Arafat to answer. OH I forgot. He’s dead…probably stoking the fires of hell right about now…I spect…But I’m sure that this captured terrorist would love the corn-hole action in SF. After feeling “special” he could join in the fun singing Kumbaya to the SF guru herself Nanski Peloski.
