Iraqi Security Forces, U.S. Special Forces capture high-level terrorist in Mosul
2007-08-23
Iraqi Security Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained a high-level terrorist during an intelligence-driven operation in Mosul on Aug. 20.

Intelligence indicates the targeted individual is believed to be in charge of security for Mosul-based ISI, an organization established as a front for al-Qaeda in Iraq and uses kidnapping and executions to enforce his security actions. He also reportedly interrogates kidnapping victims for extortion, information collection and executes them. One other suspicious individual was also detained during the operation. The forces also seized a variety of military equipment and documents at the targeted residence. No Iraqi or U.S. Special Forces coalition forces were injured during this raid.

#7  The box remains on the organization chart even after the occupant has moved on, and must be filled. The original plan was to promote from within, but for quite some time the need for promotions has cycled more quickly than the training period needed to produced quality managers. Technicians, too, but there the training needed takes considerably longer, and in the fields required is quite risky for semi-trained personnel.

#6  I suspect that we also use "pink champagne on ice", one shot of which makes you not only our bestest friend in the whole world, but makes your terribly chatty about every little thing.

#5  "High Level" is a reference to their IQ. It is somewhere between 50 and 60.

#4  "High-Level" is anyone left that's 22 years or older.

#3  I believe "high level" is everything better than cannon fodder.

most of these A-Q types squeal like little piglets when caught, but a few of these "big shots" need some prep work...

Commercial Spin Dryer with locking Door, Check

Hand Cuffs & Leg Irons, check

Begin with Heat Set to hummmm.... 125f, check

Slo cycle, check

Add a few 10 Lb Rocks, check

Tenderize al-Qaeda types one at a time, while the next "riders" watch and listen.

In the meantime begin drawing up a preliminary list of questions to ask. lets see....
