Chemical Ali busted, in US custody: CNN
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Ali Hassan al-Majid, a feared cousin of Saddam Hussein nicknamed "Chemical Ali" for his use of poison gas in attacks, has been captured by U.S. forces in Iraq, CNN said on Thursday. CNN said it had no further details of where Majid had been detained. He was number five on a U.S. list of the 55 most wanted Iraqis and the "king of spades" in a U.S. army deck of cards depicting fugitive members of Saddam’s government.
Puh-lease, file extradition to Kurdistan immediately. Or let him "escape" in Kurdish controlled territory.

Like I always say, they've got to be lucky every time. We only have to be lucky once. I sure hope they plan on trotting him out on the teevee for all the Arabs to see, so they can be inspired.

I'll be outside, ululating and firing off my AK for the rest of the day... I think I'll hoist a cold one, too...
