#2 Awesome! What's the Queen's English for Hooyah!!!?

Given what they found, can their intent be in doubt, lol!? I hope the interrogation oversight is extremely lax and the boys are in a very bad mood...

#3 Congratulations. Enjoy the interrogations, but don't use cameras.

#4 "The two arrests were made after a cleric pointed out one of the rebels who had tried to blend into a crowd of 100 onlookers."
Maybe there are some moderate clerics!

#6 Like in "Man On Fire", cut off one finger for each question they get wrong or don't answer! Mop their foreheads, be patient!

#7 Yikes British interrogation! Cold shoulders, sneering looks, quick cuts and horrific browbeating, all designed to force the prisoner to genetically recall that he is but a native.

#10 Tough questions, hard looks, cudgels, pliers, flaming shoots of bamboo under the fingernails, underwear hats, snarling dogs, Lyndie England wearing Fredricks of Hollywood sportingwear...

But eating haggis?

Good God, RJ! There's no need to get carried away!

#11 Re #2: The Queen's English for "hooyah" is probably "hurrah!" as in the Admiral's recitative from HMS Pinafore:

Then give three cheers,
I'll lead the way,
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hooray!"

#12 The only bummer is that for all their efforts, they only nabbed two out of ten.

#13 Haggis, and force them to listen to Spice Girls songs alternated wiht Rupert Holmes.

You don't know Rupert Holmes?

Everyone knows Rupert Holmes, although perhaps not by name.

He sang "The Pina Colada Song", also known as "Escape". Everyone knows Rupert Holmes because, given the chance, 95% of us would like to throttle him until his face was purple. The remaining 5% are middle-aged women who, for some reason, find this song entertaining.

#14 The only bummer is that for all their efforts, they only nabbed two out of ten.

They ought to be pissed about that, if it's true (it is according to the accounts I've read). Chasing ten men in three cars, with choppers and light armoured vehicles, and they only nabbed two?! Definitely room for improvement. The Lynx aren't up to the task, methinks, although they may have reached the scene too late to hope to get all the bad guys. We've got Longbows; I think it's time they were moved up for some action. I doubt the goons would have had the opportunity to shoot back at an Apache

Still, two are better than none.

#15 I'm shocked as hell that The Twit Who Shall Not Be Named hasn't shown up here and started a fight.

Think he can only manage one thread a day?

#16 So, vile sand dweller - NOW will you tell us of your troop movements?"

#17 personally , I would send in Roy 'chubby' Brown . He's offensive to everyone !! They'll talk just to shut him up .
