#1 Cruising in the stolen car, bodies Still Inside. This takes the cake thus far for Irak's Stupidest Criminals / Wannabee Jihadis. It sounds like they were free-lance jihadis and thought they'd get a fat reward from someone for the bodies.

If just thugies stealing a car then they are the dumbest killers ever. Credit to Dr Steve for how they should meet their fate:
Hillah Main Moskkk. Friday. One hour before mid-day Prayers. Red Hot pokers inserted from both ends. A bullet KGB-style when they stop screaming.

If jihadi wannabees, I hope they're being grilled, literally, for info regards where they were taking the bodies and from whom they expected their reward. After drained dry as the desert, see above for Big Finish.

Condolences to the families of all three. Puhleeze follow common sense and prescribed security, people. This is not DisneyLand, yet. Damn, this sucks.

#3 Has anybody heard of what we are doing with these guys when we catch them? I bet you this is one of the main reasons we are pushing to get the Iraqi Gov't up and running. I am guessing at this point due to Geneva Issues we cannot easily try/execute these bastards. Once the Iraq Gov't is up we can hand these criminals over to them and it is now a internal Iraqi issue and these thugs are no longer POW's but crimininals. Most of these thugs we have have caught are guilty of murder (or attempted murder). During the WWII occupation of Germany the local commanders were able to handle their own local Trials/Executions and that quickly led to a end of resistance. From what I can see we can only throw these guys in Prison and wait. Not much of a deterent if you ask me.

#4 Patrick - Check out the CPA Briefing article - 10,000 Iraqi passport-holders in custody. Being a criminal courts judge in Iraq certainly looks like a job for people with a strong constitution (pun intended)! I'd guess the hangman will also be very busy - starting July 1st.
