Captured Zarqawi aide was facilitating al-Qaeda communications
2004-12-31
U.S.-led forces in Baghdad have captured a man they describe as a senior member of the militant network led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Fadil Hussain Ahmed al-Kurdi, 26, is said to be responsible for facilitating communications between Zarqawi and al-Qaeda, as well as co-ordinating the movement of insurgents in and out of Iraq. Al-Kurdi was captured along with two other militants in a raid in Baghdad.

#7  I like the idea of cutting his sphincter muscles and letting him go.

#6  Two possibilities:
1) He was captured some time ago, and his usefullness in providing actionable intel is over.
2) He was captured in such a state that it would be unreasonable to expect to obtain actionable intel (dead or brain-dead - or is that redundant?) and so by announcing his 'capture' one hopes to cause his superiors to self-destroy some channels we don't and won't know about.

#5  We should not have released the news this shithead was captured. Al - Qaeda dogs seem to be able to hide pretty damn good. Im sure Zarqawi has plans for when those closest to him are detained.

#2  Turn him over to the Iraqis--the new DOJ torture memo doesn't cover them.
