US captures terra 'leader' in Iraq! Woo Hoo!
"Khaled Abdul-Fattah Dawoud Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, also known as Abu Shahid, was captured in Mosul on July 4..."

Its all over the news and internet now. But guess what? I googled the guy to see what awful activities he's been up to. The only reference to this guy is . . . his capture! No one apparently ever heard of the guy until the Pentagon announced they caught him.

Wanna talk about bullshit? THAT is bullshit.

2. CentCom just has a dartboard with Arab-sounding names on it
Throw three darts, get a name
