Spain arrests 16 terrorists, Iraq releases 8
Well it's still a net improvement as Spain shuts down an al-Qaeda recruiting group.
16 more terrorists nailed. Hopefully the US gets a chance to interrogate the leader who was in contact with Zarqawi... good intel there I'm sure. But then Iraq officially releases 8 of Saddam's former officials, possibly up to 25. What the hell?
I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt, but it seems highly unlikely these guys are no longer threats. But maybe we tagged them with sooper sekret tracking devices to make for easy tracking hoping they'll lead us to terrorists or weapons caches. I'm sure they'll be leaving the country real quick-like... Baathist regime guys aren't too popular right now in the bold new democratic Iraq... |
