6 'death squad' members caught in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. and Iraqi soldiers captured six members of an alleged "death squad" in Baghdad on Tuesday, hoping to quell the rampant sectarian violence dividing the capital, while attacks elsewhere in Iraq left at least 26 people dead.

4. yeah. 6 down, 13,834 to go.

At this rate, 6 every two months, let's see. We will have finished this job in the year 4,311.

Enquiring minds want to know...

6. isn't the Madhi Army at 100,000?

its over. bush has created another enemy for the USA - a hardline shiite theocracy, with massive oil wealth, closely allied with the mullahs in iran.

watch the sunnis seem like the sensible arab iraqis in short order.

nice work, skippy.

7. Did they have Negroponte's "How to be an effect death squad member" book?

8. I briefly caught some talking head scoff at the Bushistas on this;

apparently, they are trying to promote this as a major victory.
the talking head said "in reality, this is more like finding a solitary dandelion in a field full of them"

I could not catch who said it or on what station, (it may have been local) but the scorn in the voice in describing the US "explanation" and "claim of victory" was visceral.

Methinks the tide is turning.

9. and until bush's legions are gone

6 others will take their place.
