60 Terrorist arrested yesterday. In Iraq.

Story: "U.S. soldiers raided a funeral and detained 60 men suspected of ties to al-Qaida car bombings, the U.S. command said Saturday in announcing the first major roundup of suspected insurgents since troop reinforcements began arriving for a new crackdown in Baghdad.
...
The 60 detained men are believed associated with a senior Iraqi al-Qaida leader in a cell that "specializes in bomb making," the statement said.

"The group has been reported to be planning and conducting training for future attacks," it said. "Multiple forms of credible intelligence led the assault force to the location, later determined to be a funeral gathering, where the suspects were detained."

Women and children at the funeral were separated from the men and the arrests were made without incident, the statement said without giving any details."


60 bomb makers were arrested, and all 60 of them were at a funeral. That must have been one mighty interesting funeral. No one was hurt, and there are now 60 fewer islamic terrorist scumbags roaming the face of the earth.
And thats why we're in Iraq.

Too bad the funeral wasn't for the 60 that were arrested. Yes, Anonymous may say that's pretty harsh for Mercy Now but think of how many innocent civilians and US troops those 60 cowardly bombers have killed so far? Of course, there should be due process which is why they were arrested.

And how does Club Gitmo fit into that?
