More news from Iraq

The head of al-Qaeda in Iraq was captured today.

And something big is happening in Sadr City

Update:
Looks like I posted too early. From CNN: Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the head of al
Qaeda in Iraq, has not been captured, a senior U.S. military official told
CNN on Friday.



Reynolds cautions against such haste
