Was just told by mother of MP in Iraq...
that her son was guarding 3500 Iranian terrorists
40 miles north of Baghdad.

Supposedly, 3000 of which are hardcore terrorists,
and 500 have changed their ways. She said this info
is not to be widely distributed, but suspect she is
mistaken, or this is dissemination of propaganda before
bombing of Iran.

She was a customer where I work.

1. She is also a liar.
Less than 10% of people we've captured were foreign-born. We've captured maybe a score of Iranians, and no more--unless we've been hiding several thousand from the Red Cross.

3. She's probably not lying
That was probably what she was told, and what her son was told. Doesn't mean the information is actually correct, mind you.

12. Or, more likely, her son is the one being lied to.

2. Man, oh man
I wonder if this is a sign that Bush wants to go after Iran for sure. Kind of a rumor mill thing, but so is election fraud, Watergate, etc.

5. "3000 hardcore terrorists."
So that's how they make a living in Iran? Please. Do people never think before they speak?

3000 is a hefty number. How were they rounded up, identified and segregated? Which operation accomplished this?

8. How many?

Is there another prison where these terrosists will be abused?

10. That could very well be it, he is getting ready to come home

her anymore about it till next week.

11. "500 have changed their ways"
Due to their "christian" guards, I take it the terrorists have been born again? Praise Jeebus....
