1. wow an Iraqi civilian turned them in... |

I wonder how much cash he got? Case closed!

An Iraqi civilian helped Task Force Baghdad soldiers locate the suspects, who were arrested at two houses Saturday afternoon, the military said in a statement. The military did not identify the suspects or specify where they were captured.

2. Isn't that twice the number of usual suspects? |

What an impressive display of efficiency! I'm sure Major Strasser will be most pleased.

5. I have to take all that news with a grain of salt. |

The US was embarrassed and it looked like things might be out of control, so it is convenient to round up the team that did it. With this admin we'll never know if it is THE team or random bunch of people or even no people at all - just a headline. I am jaded I guess.
