BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi special forces backed by U.S. advisers have captured an al Qaeda cell leader believed to be behind the kidnap in June of two U.S. soldiers who were found tortured and dead, the U.S. military said on Thursday.

A U.S. statement said the man was captured in a raid on Tuesday in Yusifiya, 15 km (9 miles) south of Baghdad. It said he had recently been seen commenting on a video CD showing the kidnapping of the soldiers that was shown at a mosque.

"The terrorist is believed responsible for kidnapping two U.S. soldiers from a checkpoint in Yusifiya in June, 2006. The soldiers were later found tortured and murdered," a U.S. statement said.

A third soldier was killed in the attack on the checkpoint in which Privates First Class Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Tucker were seized in the south Baghdad al Qaeda stronghold.

The mutilated and booby-trapped bodies of Menchaca, 23, and Tucker, 25, were found three days after the June 16 attack.

"The terrorist is also suspected of perpetrating numerous kidnappings, murders and other violent crimes within the Yusifiya area," the U.S. statement said.

Note that Reuters refers to the vermin as an "al Qaeda cell leader" while the US news release properly calls him a terrorist. It must have burned them to no end to have to quote the latter term in the article. As for the "suspect," give me a knife and five minutes alone with him.

Why doesnt the MSM show photos of those two soldiers? Hang this Ba$tard up by the testicles and pour acid on him in two hours.

Al Qaeda is in Iraq? Not according to the Democrats, must be a case of mistaken identity.

Romans 13:1 Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.
Romans 13:2 Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.
Romans 13:3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same;
Romans 13:4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who practices evil.

And whatever you do, do NOT let Ramsey Clark get anywhere near this outlaw cheap street thug who has engaged in aggravated murder and mutilation.

Ramsey would, for whatever reason, pity the poor fellow for whatever rough treatment he may have gotten while in custody.

What happens to them after they are captured? Have any been executed?

Strap him to a cold, metal slab, then cut little gashes all over his body from head to toe with a razor blade. Pour Ammonia into wounds.

Rinse, lather and repeat until dead.

What happens to them after they are captured? Have any been executed?

They're probably at GITMO, getting chicken rice pilaf and chatting it up with their free lawyers.

Another one to be marched to the gallows once tried. Hope he is enjoying his surf boarding lessons in the meantime.

Ramsey Clark?

Reading an article this morning concerning Ramsey Clark in Saddam's trial.
By what I gathered from the reading, the Iraq courts had a way of handling Mr. Clark, should be used in the American courts.

The article was posted here at FR.
