#2 If you blowup enough little kids you will drive the locals passed the f-it factor and they will point out that your top two guys are in that house right now.

Smile for the camera.

#3 General Odierno was on the news, saying al-Baghdadi had been in custody previously and had been a Fallujah policeman in 2005. Sounds like they got some real bad guys plus a lot of intel for follow up. Definitely AQ.

#4 What, just because these guys have been body counted so many times in the past, current reports of their deceased status are now filed under "Opinion"?

#7 I usually put items from other blogs in Opinion.

You're right in terms of Rantburg policy, tu3031. But it was straight news instead of blogger opinion, so it's a subtle decision where both are correct.
