#2 MN, his immediate family probably has.

What's the name of that minister that resigned over Allawi's resolve to use military option in Fallujah? I would check that guy and his party under electron microscope.

#3 Now that this has gotten truly personal, maybe Allawi really will personally execute a bunch of terrorists.

P.S. - Of course, nearly being murdered with an axe by Saddam's henchmen is pretty personal too.

#4 An Islamic group has said it is holding the three, and threatened to behead them unless the assault on Falluja stops. The threat was issued in a posting on an Islamic website by a group calling itself Ansar al-Jihad. The group also wants prisoners held by Iraqi and US forces freed. It says the hostages will be killed within 48 hours unless its demands are met.

No suprises there , usual threats . Of course Iyad Allawi isnt going to give in to their demands , they just dont get it do they . We do not negotiate with terrorists . As Tibor says , Iyad Allawi will want to get his hands dirty on this one i think

#5 Time for Allawi to fast-track some captured insurgent executions? Ten per hour whilst the hostages are captive? These tools don't seem to realise that Allawi won't feel obliged to be constrained by the same rules we are.
