The terrorists who attacked those U.S. Navy vessels really screwed up when they chose to do it in Jordan, which has both a first class regional intelligence service and secret police force. I'm only surprised that it took the Jordanians this long to catch them...now let the real fun begin with the interrogations.

MSNBC just reported that the individual, along with two sons, have ties to an Iraqi based terror group.

AP source, I believe.

Just a hunch, but I think the Jordanians will use interrogation techniques that are a bit more intense than placing panties on the terrorist's head.

During the arrest the excremist tried to resist and inflicted a series of painful blows on LEOs' fists and feet with different parts of his body. He was so ferocious as to break a few police batons,too.

Good news, but should read "captured" not "arrested."

This guy won't be happy that he was caught in Jordan. He's going to find out what his left chestnut tastes like.

Thankfully after 9/11 Mr Bush and our Great Soldiers have prevented another attack on American soil by taking the war back to SADDAM,THE GODFATHER OF ISLAMIC STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM.Those of us that love American and the freedom that we have can never thank you enough!!!!!I hope that very soon we will move the UNITED NATIONS HQ to Iraq and stop the Terrorist insurgents from murdering our soldiers, infact this may be the cleanest and only way to bring our Freedom Fighters HOME...In 1979 When the Persian leader(not Arabs)Ayatollah Khomeini:SAID: as hate spilled from his mouth "To kill and to be killed for Allah is a Muslim's greatest joy".These murderers today are doing just what khomeini said "killing for joy" Prior to Khomeinis death he used the good Arab people to fight his war that continues today, many will say the war started September 11th, 2001. The answer as far as the United States is concerned is 1979, 22 years prior to September 2001, with the following attacks on us: Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979; Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983; Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983; Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988; Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Kh! obar Towers Military complex 1996; Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 19 98; Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998; Pentagon 2001. (Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581 terrorist attacks worldwide)Wake up Arab nations the PERSIANS are using you once again.WHO WILL IRAN NUKE FIRST???
