Dead Guy pics at the link. I'll let somebody else make the Fat Lady call.
Look dead enough for me. If they rise from the dead we've always got the stake through the heart graphic.

#7  I usually put items from other blogs in Opinion.

You're right in terms of Rantburg policy, tu3031. But it was straight news instead of blogger opinion, so it's a subtle decision where both are correct.

#4  What, just because these guys have been body counted so many times in the past, current reports of their deceased status are now filed under "Opinion"?

#3  General Odierno was on the news, saying al-Baghdadi had been in custody previously and had been a Fallujah policeman in 2005. Sounds like they got some real bad guys plus a lot of intel for follow up. Definitely AQ.

#2  If you blowup enough little kids you will drive the locals passed the f-it factor and they will point out that your top two guys are in that house right now.

Smile for the camera.
