#1 267 from out of town, eh? No locals, of course, since it's unislamic to be a criminal.

#2 It was the local criminals who were doing the detaining and the foreign criminals who were being detained.

#3 Sounds like the scalper sweep at Fenway last night. The Bronx, Brooklyn, Albany...

#4 Im assuming the local "police" are SCIRI loyalists? Although they could be Fadlallah (sp?) loyalists (a group that follows the ideology of Sadrs pop, but isnt loyal to muqty hisself)

#5 Whatever, it should be considered a good start.
I'm a tad surprised the Basra police are really in the game.
