#1 hmmmm - seems like we're rolling up his command structure. That would be easier to do if he was already in custody, no?

#2 maybe Frank. Or maybe we're just getting better overall, getting more tips from locals, conducting lots of raids, getting assistance from Iraqi forces, etc. I think that this is the announcement that the Interior Minister hinted at when we invoked the 48 hour rule - this is the substitute for getting Zarq, not the fruit of getting Zarq. Id be happy to be wrong though.

#3 "He's down in interrogation now, having his eye teeth removed in preparation for spilling his guts..."

#4 Hassan Hamad Abdullah Mohsen al-Duleimi..... was arrested on January 14.
..arrested January 15 Sami Mohammad Said al-Jaf, also known as Abu Omar al-Kurdi

Had them in the jug for a week before announcing it, eh? Nice, Zarq will be wondering what they're saying, forcing him to move and change some plans.

#5 We give them free dentistry, too? When word gets out, they'll be beating down the doors to surrender themselves :-P

#6 I am waiting for the loud chorus of LLL that cry every about torture. Think maybe we should rough this guy up a bit before we ask him questions?
