.al-Qaida Figure Arrested in Ramadi
"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The American military Friday arrested a high-ranking member of al-Qaida in Iraq in the town of Ramadi, the U.S. Marines said.
Amir Khalaf Fanus, also known in the Ramadi area as "the Butcher," was wanted for criminal activities including murder and kidnapping, Capt. Jeffrey S. Pool said in a statement from the town, located 70 miles west of Baghdad.
Fanus was No. 3 on a most-wanted list for Ramadi drawn up by the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 28th Infantry Division.
"He is the highest ranking al-Qaida in Iraq member to be turned into Iraqi and U.S. officials by local citizens," Pool said. "His capture is another indication that the local citizens tire of the insurgents' presence within their community.""

Yeap it looks like election fever is sweeping Iraq once again. There are stories from all sectors, and even though the clergy is recommending slates, different clergy are recommending different slates, so I think it will cancel itself out.
Unfortunate but true that the Democrats are digging themselves into a deep hole, one piece of good news is that the new senator from NJ will be a Cuban American, I am sure that he will not be on the surrender side of the DNC.
