#1 I wonder how many of these 81 were released during the Ramadan good will gesture (or previous 'catch and release' programs)? And how soon will they be loose again?

#2 Last I heard during a US press conference some time ago was that they had not re-arrested anyone who had been released. That information was from the tail-end of Ramadan, though.

#3 A lot of these detainment raids are scooping up a lot of folks with few to no casualties to the raiders, that's new.

#4 That's because these recent arrests are all fluffy bunnies and baby duckies, Thomas.

Sorry. One hopes it is due to the increasing skill of the Iraqis. If one has skill, one does not need brutality.
