U.S. Military Captures Top Terrorist In Iraq

Or, as the BBC called terrorist Khaled Mashhadani, a Top Iraqi Insurgent:

    US forces say they have arrested a senior member of al-Qaeda in Iraq, the group accused of being behind some of Iraq's deadliest violence.

    The man was named as Khaled Mashhadani. He was captured earlier in July in the northern city of Mosul, officials said.

    US military officials said he had told interrogators Iraq's supposed al-Qaeda kingpin, Omar al-Baghdadi, was a front.

    They added Mashhadani was a "conduit" between its real Egypt-born leader in Iraq and top al-Qaeda figures globally.

    "Mashhadani is believed to be the most senior Iraqi in the al-Qaeda in Iraq network," said Brig Gen Kevin Bergner.

And Democrats want to stop the above type of capturing from happening.
