| Allawi: 400 Insurgents Held in Fallujah |
| 2004-11-14 |
| About 400 suspected insurgents have been arrested during the ongoing fighting in Fallujah, and some of them are foreigners, Iraq's prime minister said Sunday. "We arrested a large number of them, around 400," interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said in an interview broadcast by Iraqiya television. "Some of them are Iraqis and some from outside Iraq." Allawi gave no figures for the number of foreigners but said they included Syrians, Saudis, Afghans and Moroccans. |

| #6 I hope they get some remote spot going and dig a ditch. After they are done with the questioning all the foreign ones go into the ditch with a shot to the back of the ear. The Iraqi ones go to redeucation camps, the loss of the muslim eating hand before they are turned loose is manditory. |

| #5 I just read that our psyops folks are driving around Fallujah with loudspeakers blaring out the theme-song from Team America..."America, Fuck Yeah!" I wonder how many of these 400 morons know the words? |

| #4 Presumably they'll be screened first to identify the ones who know something. Allawi has an interest in squeezing the former regime types and the foreigners are potentially leverage of some sort vs. their home governments. |

| #2 They'll let them go at the next Eid... if they've promised to be "good" and everything. |

| #1 Th big question is, what are they going to do with these idiots? Probably nothing. Not filling them with hot lead on the battle field and "arresting" them instead means that the Iraqis now have on their hands the cost of upkeep of these prisoners, and potential future problems when they are eventually released. |
