#1 Hummm -- is it just me..... and memory is to be cherished by the young, but lately haven't these leaders (bad guys) mostly are being killed or capture in the Baghdad Belts?

I'm reading this one, as the bad guy shows up in town, with a friend, and KAPOW... he and his friend are taken.....

Good show guys -- Would like this movie, Iraqi Special Operation guys and US Special Forces...

This, with the lottery, I could turn into a great movie. Probably a B-grade movie, but still a good movie.

Good intelligence here... "targeted individual was located without incident." I just have to admire these Iraqi guys. With the horrid tales we know of the horrific acts again their family members during the Saddam era, and now, for four years, more torture from ?????, they still, "locate and capture without incident."

I love the pictures of Iraqi kids our soldiers post for us. These kids are clean, their clothes are clean, their faces are clean... and smiles beam, with a look of a kid well loved.

How many pics of Iraqi kids have you seen, Iraqi kid, posing relaxed, with an arm or hand, laced comfortably on an American soldier? Most of them?

Just another story, about Iraqi Special Forces capturing a bad guy. Wonder where this bad guy is in the Iraqi forces deck of cards?

#3 I hate "detained". It makes it sound like they got pulled over for speeding.
We need a new word...

#4 tu3031: How about a new phrase, as in "He's detained, Jim."

How about "capped", as in "knee-capped"?
Maybe "jugged", as in "Saddam was jugged in a rabbit hole"?
Perhaps a better word all around would be "vaporized", as in ceasing to exist except as a few free-floating molecules. That does reduce the amount of intelligence we might gather, but it sure cuts down on recidivism.

#7 How about "Shot in the nuts, then released with an implanted tracking device activated"?
