#1 They're not even "insurgents" or "militants" anymore, much less "terrorists", they're "fighters". Yup, yewbetcha.

Fuck KUNA. The gold standard that AP, AFP, BBC, NYT, etc aspire to...

#2 Just once I'd like to see them use the proper, "Muslim terrorist".

Good news with my coffee.

#3 Brand them with an "L" on their foreheads and send them home in disgrace. Oh, and bill their families for costs incurred in capture and transshipment.

/wishful thinking.

#4 I suspect it was a pretty easy bag, relatively speaking, because these troublemakers had been driven out of their 'hoods in other parts of Baghdad and were strangers up there, with zero local support.

#5 twife

how about this amendment,

bring their bodies to the next Arab League meeting and dump them on the conference table at the first plenary session (if no Arab League meeting schedule, an OIC or 'non aligned' or UN meeting will do).

#6 Second amendment - brand them with a crescent and star inside a circle, with a bar across the middle - the international sign that islam is not allowed.

#7 Heck, why not take them to the next AL or UN meeting and spell out the words "NOPE, NO TERRORISTS HERE!" on the front lawn? I wonder what the Al Jizz would do with that. I wonder what the MSM would do with that!
