1. Heh. It's a press release.... from Centcom...

Would have read better if a news agency had released it.

2. Good for the Iraqi army...they need all the good news they can get...

..however there are how many kidnappings per day and they got ONE and it becomes news? They do need more kudos though, I suppose?

4. It was likely a "canned arrest" solely as a PR stunt.

Once the actors were in place, the convenient "informant" goes to the "army office" (?) and tells them where to go. One would think this would have been a police matter, but in Bushworld, "the military" takes care of everything.
