A little more detail on the previous post. We just can't make this stuff up... Maybe Reuters can, but we can't.
U.S. and Iraqi forces raided suspected insurgent hideouts in the heart of the capital Wednesday, sparking clashes along a main Baghdad thoroughfare... Kadhim al-Dafan is believed to be a key neighborhood leader operating on Baghdad's bloodied Haifa Street, responsible for car bombs and other attacks in the area, said Col. Mohammed Abdullah. Five other suspected insurgents were also taken into custody as U.S. and Iraqi forces clashed with rebels on the street.
Wait for it...
Iraqi security forces backed by U.S. troops arrested the suspected terrorist leader Kadhim al-Dafan, cornering him Wednesday in a closet as he tried to conceal his face with his wife's underwear, an Iraqi National Guard commander said.
Yep, put the panties on his own head, saving us the trouble!
Did he have a banana up his butt, too?

#3  I'm sensing a change of tack in the England trial. "Your honor, my client was merely trying to hide these prisoners from the bad soldiers."

Gives new meaning to the term Human Shield.
