<<The arrest evidence says that the foreign fighters are a small but significant minority. >>

I just had coffee with a guy who just spent 4 months in Iraq. He worked with the police force so he got to learn about a lot about those who have been captured. He says there are a lot of fighters in Iraq from Jordan and Syria. Most came for the rewards for killing Americans and many are upset because the promised rewards weren't paid.

BTW, he says they have all the information Saddam has to give. The Muslims don't have a code of silence like the Mafia, more of an attitude of I'm caught, game's over, and they spill the beans.
