If I had the option of living under Saddam Hussein or in the current state of chaos I would choose now. I have to believe that all but a few of the Sunni's would choose the same. Actually, as I recall, Abu Ayyub took over over and we were pretty damn sure he was in charge because he was an accolyte of Ayman Al-Zawahiri, leader of Islamic Jihad and #2 (#1?) of Al Qaida. I see the US intel folks really questioned whether Abu Umar was real, or a fictional name used to cause the ISI to be perceived as Iraqi. That will make him very difficult to bring to justice. Of course Iraqis could just claim to have killed him in a raid and challenge ISI to prove them wrong.
