Would've Could've

Friends,
The Key Stone Kops strike again. He had a similar name. But...if it would have been him, it would have been a significant coup. Way to "step-up" Iraq.
Also, in Sadr City, residents are frightened of being detained because they have heard of U.S. prisoner abuse and detention practices. Makes one proud to be an American.
Bring our troops home!

"Iraqi police announced early Friday that Muhajer had been found sleeping during a midnight raid of a house in the northern city of Mosul and had confessed his identity in an interrogation -- a development that would have been a significant coup for Iraqi security forces."
"The U.S. military spokesman, however, said there was apparently confusion because the man who was captured has a similar name."

"In other developments, militia leaders loyal to Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Thursday vowed to resist efforts by Iraqi and U.S. forces to relocate residents of some of the most violent parts of Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood to camps."
"Abu Bader cited American detention practices, and the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal in particular, as the source of people's fears."
