#1 Don't Iraqi officers have a sidearm? If not, they should. And the 'companions' should be well trained in self-defence.

#2 Why show the card if you have the people you could show? I think the General and his companions are already dead, but the Mujahideen killed them before realizeing who they were. This is just an attempt to salvage propoganda.

#3 Isn't Saleh the 'Brain' who headed up the hardened Fallujuah Brigade? Seeing as they nabbed him and his bodyguards, it's more like one big carpool really. Of course, if Charles is on to something, then it's a work accident.

#4 I suspect he has. But more will be along to finish the job.
