U.S. Troops Arrest Relative of Al-Douri

[DuctapeFatwa]

U.S. troops arrested a relative of Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, and believe he may help in the hunt for the most senior former regime figure still at large, a U.S. officer said Wednesday.

Late last year, al-Douri's wife and daughter were detained. In January, troops arrested four of his nephews who were suspected of helping him hide. All six are believed to remain in U.S. custody.

1. so fucking what!

All the ex-baathists are useless and impotent just as saddam was. It wont make a bit of difference for the safety of our soldiers or Iraqis.

2. this should finally put an end to the killing once and for all..

like when they captured Uday and Qusai.. okay, bad example. Remember how the shooting stopped after we captured Saddam.. awwwwww shit, my bad. Damn.. we need another deck of cards.

3. All of these detentions are in direct violation of the

Geneva Convention. But who cares anymore certainly not the shrub's good puppy press.

5. Hasn't he already been killed at least twice?

And captured two or three more times?

On edit:

Sure enough. Google tells me Al Douri was killed and/or captured at least twice in December...
