I've been in and out all day, so I haven't seen a ton of Fox. Has Ollie been on today to comment on Abbas being captured?
In case anybody has been wondering what has been going on elsewhere in Iraq.
WHERE THE TROOPS AREN'T:
* The U.S. military says it controls most of Iraq, but the truth is that military action has focused on major urban areas. Now commanders are turning their attention to other parts of the country.
Hundreds of towns simply sat out the war and remain inaccessible. Relief workers consider it a good sign that refugees are not streaming from them, but what's happening is unsure.
Marine Maj. Brad Bartelt, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said he could not say much about what the military knew of areas outside its control because of security issues. But Bartelt did say coalition forces are relying both on scouts on the ground and tips from civilians for guidance.
