#2 It seems like this is a back and forth report. We have him, we don't, we do, we don't. My only question is, if we didn't have him, why hasn't the Islamic State in Iraq proved it with a tape release? Usually they're quick to disprove their top leaders getting nabbed.

#5 If we do have him they will soon broadcast another tape introducing their new fearless leader. There will always be an Emir.

#11 No, it means father, M.Murcek, to prove that they can become one.

Go, Barbara, go! I think that counts as a touchdown, or a 3-point shot... or something really good. ;-)

#13 AP: A prominent Iraqi Shiite close to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki also said al-Baghdadi had been captured. But he spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not supposed to release the information.

Fingers crossed
