Fed up with being part of a group that cuts off a person’s face with piano wire to teach others a lesson, dozens of low-level members of Al Qaeda in Iraq are daring to become informants for the U.S. military in a hostile Baghdad neighbourhood.

The ground-breaking move in Doura is part of a wider trend that has started in other Al Qaeda hotspots across the country and in which Sunni insurgent groups and tribal sheikhs have stood together with the coalition against the extremist movement.

“They are turning. We are talking to people who we believe have worked for Al Qaeda in Iraq and want to reconcile and have peace,” said Colonel Ricky Gibbs, commander of the 4th Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, which oversees the area.

The sewage-filled streets of Doura, a Sunni Arab enclave in south Baghdad, provide an ugly setting for what U.S. commanders say is Al Qaeda’s last stronghold in the city. The secretive group, however, appears to be losing its grip as a “surge” of U.S. troops in the neighbourhood — part of the latest effort by President Bush to end the chaos in Iraq — has resulted in scores of fighters being killed, captured or forced to flee.

2. Fox should rename itself the Al Qaeda channel

where the word "Al Qaeda" is mentioned at least once every 20 seconds. I notice "Al Qaeda" appeared in every paragraph above. I guess if we just got rid of Al Qaeda in Iraq, we'd be back to the cascades of flowers and candy being thrown at our troops and that would flood the streets.

5. How will they lie their way out of it

after we've killed off the last member of al Qaeda and two or three of our troops are still gettin blowed up every day?

This blaming everything on al Qaeda bullshit is gonna come back and bite them in the ass I fear.
