| #2 the so-called Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) group As terrorists have no sense of irony or humor, it is the opinion of Lt. Joe Leaphorn that this is no coincidence. |

| #1 Seven dudes nabbed? That's a good operation which indicates some sophistication on the part of the Kirkuk coppers & jundies. Next time just do it in Baghdad where more of the ISI slimeballs are probably operating. |
