U.S. captures the Unknown Terrorist

The terror kabuki continues today with the Army's announcement that they have yet again captured a "senior al Qaeda cell leader," but they haven't yet figured this new villain's name, despite having captured him on Monday.

In a raid southwest of Baquba - not far from the spot of Zarqawi's latest death - this newest super villain was detained along with three others.

"He is known to be involved in facilitating foreign terrorists throughout central Iraq, and is suspected of having ties to previous attacks on Coalition and Iraqi forces," said a statement from the military.

Why they haven't identified this terrible menace is anyone's guess, though it does highlight a disheartening trend. Earlier this week they claimed to have killed "Sheik Mansur," the man who led the Chechens against Catherine the Great's armies in the 18th Century.

The Bush Administration has been keeping the propaganda pedal down of late. One day it's Zarqawi, then the "crackdown", next the death of Mansur Sulayman Mansur Khalif al-Mashadani, followed by Thursday's Sears Tower arrest in Miami and finally this. The message is clear: be afraid, America.
