Iraq
US troops arrest two Saddam generals
2003-11-06
US forces have captured two former Iraqi generals suspected of financing and organizing attacks on coalition forces around Fallujah, near where a US military helicopter was shot down Sunday, the military said Wednesday.
Wring 'em...
The generals, who were not identified, were seized in a raid in Fallujah early Tuesday by soldiers from the US Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, the military said in a statement.

#6  before anyone gets too excited, remember that Iraq had a huge number of general officers.

At last count, about 11,000 of 'em.

#5  before anyone gets too excited, remember that Iraq had a huge number of general officers. Maybe these guys are important, but you cant assume that based on their regular army ranks.

#4  A lot of saddam's $$$ must still be around Fallujah. We need to get the $$$ as much as we need to get more illegal weapons and Baathist/Fayadeen/AlQ-wannebbe thugs

#3  Give a full pardon to the Lt. Col who fired his pistol during an interrogation, then give them to him to question.

We know he's been effective in the past...
