ONE love, blood, life
Another one in custody, Iraqi National Guard backed up by US forces captured Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri - he was key in the Anfal Campaign against the Kurds and held senior spots in the Revolutionary Council. This is a bit of good news to come out of this awful weekend - this cuts at least some of the money flowing towards the insurgency and may upset the uneasy alliance between Baathist Thugs and Islamist Nutters. This capture will do a bit of damage, its one small victory of many that are going to stack up on the side of good. Interesting to note he was captured in Tikrit, just like Saddam.
