Capt. Jamil Hussein

"The Associated Press is reporting that the Iraqi Interior Ministry has acknowledged today that the "mysterious" Captain Jamil Hussein is in fact an active member of the Iraqi police force.

Both the Interior Ministry and U.S. CENTCOM had denied his existence following an AP report on the burning of six Sunni people in Hurriya a few weeks ago. He now faces arrest for speaking to the media without authorisation, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.

The current Iraqi government has crossed a dangerous line in its attempts to silence its critics. Closing independent satellite channels that are not cheerleading for them, and issuing arrest warrants for police officers who speak to the media.

What's next?"
Healing Iraq

I wonder if electrons can be said to have been wasted.
