#1 No, no, no, no, no. I thought we had this straight. Cops arrest people. Soldiers are supposed to kill the enemy.

C'mon, guys - get with the program.

#2 I'd have been happier if they would've killed 22 fighters and arrested 1 commander!

#3 I think that you are right, Barbara. Cops ARREST or apprehend people; soldiers CAPTURE people. Arrest involves law enforcement, Capture involves the laws of war. The MSM has been using these terms inappropriately for a long time, probably sloppy and lazy syntax.

#6 After gitmo and the supremes, your syntax seems the appropriate way to go, Shipman! Case closed.
