Iraq the model - Some good news!
A group of Iraqi citizens in Al Karkh/ Khidr Al Yas arrested 6 Syrian terrorists after placing a land mine at the gate of Bab Al Mu’a dam bridge from Al Karkh side.

According to New Sabah newspaper, after a road side bomb exploded missing an American convoy that was patrolling in the area, a group of citizens who happened to be there noticed a bunch of young men who looked foreigners (turned out to be Syrians) that were gathering near the place and that looked suspicious. The citizens found their atittude very suspicious and they were not from the area, so they jumped on them and kicked them until some of them started to bleed and then turned them on to the American forces. Eyewitnesses said that the citizens were shouting “Terrorists. You are targeting our children and families. You are killing our youths”

This incident that took place near Haifa street comes after many attacks that terrorist Arabs were accused of carrying against American forces and Iraqi police stations.

I posted maybe a week ago, maybe more, that Burkett, the likely source of the memos, was a very litigious person who mentioned having dealt with over 100 lawyers personally. Outside of a very few occupations (title examiner, patent examiner, process server, court employee, cop) normal human beings don't have professional dealings with 100 lawyers over the course of a lifetime.

No, this is one of those dreaded fellows with the boxes and boxes of paperwork. He knows enough about the process to make your life hell, but doesn't have the insight or the judgment to press a good case unless by accident.

Reminds me of Judicial Watch.

But yes, they can use the subpoena power of the court to winkle out much information otherwise impossible to get at.
