The Iraqi government said Tuesday it captured a former member of Saddam Hussein's regime who was believed to be funding the insurgency.

The government said in a statement it captured Fadhil Ibrahim Mahmud Al-Mashadani at a farm northeast of Baghdad. It said he worked as the former leader of the military bureau in Baghdad under Saddam.

another under-reported success story for our soldiers and Iraqi forces.

This is good news. So, according to MSM rules, it must be underreported.

[YaYa123]

Slowly, slowly reports trickle out. I found this, via Lucianne, after seeing your foxnews.com article. It's maddening that this isn't being reported on the cables.

[YaYa123]

we've been following this on the daily thread for a couple of hours, looking, listening.....it's amazing how good news from Iraq gets ignored. This should be a huge story.

Sayf al-Din al-Mashhadani was captured almost 2 years ago. I wonder if there is a relationship?

You are thinking of Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, he is a different guy. Bill Girtz identified Fadhil Ibrahim Mahmud Mashadani as "a critical link between the senior Ba'athist leaders hiding in Syria and the insurgents within Iraq."

[Straight Vermonter]

You should check out the Daily Terrorist Round-Up threads. We have good news every day.

>>This is good news. So, according to MSM rules, it must be >>underreported.

And if John F'ing (John Leak'ing) had been elected, then none of this would be happening... the UN would be struggling to hold its Occupation Authority until next years elections while 100 Lawrences of Arabia would be plotting their civil war strategy.

I know it's a different guy....I was just curious as to the recent where abouts of al-duri. We haven't heard boo about him in a while.
