| 2007-04-08 |
| US forces captured a leading al-Qaeda militant on Sunday whom they hold responsible for a wave of deadly car bombings in the capital, the military said in a statement. It did not name the suspect but said he was a close aide of al-Qaeda's Baghdad commander. It said the captured militant had ties to several senior al-Qaeda figures and was suspected of involvement in a series of deadly vehicle bombings in the capital. And, that he was detained along with two other known al-Qaeda militants. A US military spokesperson told AFP the captured militant acted as a point man for the al-Qaeda commander. He was a "gatekeeper, somebody through whom you needed to go to meet the leader," he said. |

| #3 Laptops, cell phones, Ouroubos (spelling?) fingerprint machine... in these technical times, no real need to ask the meat person any questions. Throw them in the prison's general population, and let all there despair thinking of those still temporarily free. |

| #2 He was a "gatekeeper, somebody through whom you needed to go to meet the leader," he said. I'd suggest we go through him then - use a door-knob-hole drill...oh... er, my bad, he said "go to", not go through" |
