Good News from Iraq

[Ice]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Al Qaeda's number two operative in Iraq, Hamed Juma Faris al-Suaidi, has been arrested, the U.S. military and Iraq's national security adviser announced Sunday.

Al-Suaidi, also known as Abu Rana and Abu Humam, is said to be No. 2 in the terrorist group al Qaeda in Iraq, behind Abu Ayyub al-Masri.

Al-Masri succeeded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi after he was killed during a U.S. airstrike in June.

"We continued to track him down [in the Salaheddin province] and then he moved to north of Baquba in mid-June," al-Rubaie said. "He was arrested without any harm to civilians."

The security adviser added that Al-Suaidi was "directly responsible" for Haitham al-Badri, the man believed to have been the mastermind of the Askariya Mosque bombing in Samarra in February.

Hmm, I'm starting to think you're part of that $20 million Pentagon funded project to bring good new to the forefront.

I'm not faulting you of course.

He's also supposedly singing like a canary, giving up the names/locations of other AlQaeda in Iraq members.

And of course these will all get caught since they don't watch the news?

How exactly will their watching the news keep us from finding out their identities?

In fact, it apparently isnt keeping them from being captured either:

Al-Rubaie said al-Saeedi gave information that led to the capture or death of 11 other top al-Qaida in Iraq figures and nine lower-level members. He said those arrested included non-Iraqi Arabs, but would not give any further information for security reasons.
