US: Top al-Qaida in Iraq Figure Captured
“Al-Mashhadani is believed to be the most senior Iraqi in the al-Qaida in Iraq network,” Bergner said. He said al-Mashhadani was a close associate of Abu Ayub al-Masri, the Egyptian-born head of al-Qaida in Iraq.
Bergner said al-Mashhadani served as an intermediary between al-Masri and Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri.
“In fact, communication between the senior al-Qaida leadership and al-Masri frequently went through al-Mashhadani,” Bergner said.
“Along with al-Masri, al-Mashhadani co-founded a virtual organization in cyberspace called the Islamic State of Iraq in 2006,” Bergner said. “The Islamic State of Iraq is the latest efforts by al-Qaida to market itself and its goal of imposing a Taliban-like state on the Iraqi people.”

I surely hope they are squeezing this goomer for all the intel in him, like the location of Bin Laden
July 18, 2007 - 08:40 AM on July 18th, 2007
Another myth busted.
July 18, 2007 - 08:55 AM on July 18th, 2007
Which myth?
July 18, 2007 - 09:07 AM on July 18th, 2007
The myth perpetrated that there is no direct connection between al Queda in Iraq and bin Laden’s al Queda, and as a result by fighting al Queda in Iraq we are doing nothing against bin laden organization.

Oh,I thought you might be referring to another myth or two that the left loves to promulgate at every opportunity.

Reserve another cage at Club Gitmo for that chap!

5.
That myth collapses other myths- like the one perpetrated that fighting in Iraq is not part of the GWOT.

Maybe they will subject him to the cruel and inhumane torture of ….GASP!! Pointing at his ball bag.
the horror.

6, like the myth that the Surge isn’t working.
7, I have another torture. Turning Ted Kennedy loose on this goomer’s female relations with many bottles of booze and a Kennedy pack of condoms.

#1, 38: Agree. Squeeze this MFer for every ounce of intel we can get.
Pull out all the stops! Commence REAL torture immediately! Fly in Lynndie England and a case of Camel non-filters! Set up the cameras and broadcast live footage of Lynndie smoking and pointing at Mashhadanni’s bare genitals!!!
That’s REAL torture!!!

Robert, how dare you! Then the liberals will say we have stooped to their level.
Don’t you know that pointing at a nutsack is equivalent to beheading a body, burning it and draggin it through the streets for the animals to cheer at???
where have you been?
July 18, 2007 - 01:42 PM on July 18th, 2007
I guess you’re right…pointing at a bean bag is as bad, and arguably worse…I mean, blowing up schoolchildren on the way to school or shoppers in a crowded market isn’t nice…but a dog barking at a prisoner, or the bean bag pointing! That’s just horrific!!!
Yes, perhaps we should bring this victim of Bush admin. aggression back to the U.S., put him up in the 4 seasons hotel in NYC, give him a dream team of Leftist Lawyers, then allow him to use the venue of a trial (and the willing MSM) to turn this into yet another propaganda coup for our enemies: “Oh, the poor victim! He is just a simple man, caught up in the vortex of U.S. aggression! He was framed, scapegoated by the Bush Admin. who needed a target to parade in front of the American People! of course he was tortured by Nazi-like U.S. soldiers!!!
Nah…squeeze every last ounce of intel out of the MFer then feed him to the sharks…
