U.S. Holding Six Americans, Two Britons in Iraq
The Associated Press
Published: Sep 16, 2003

  ABU GHRAIB, Iraq (AP) - The United States is holding in Iraq six prisoners who claim to be Americans and two who say they are Britons, the general in charge of detention centers said Tuesday.

Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, commander of the 800th Military Police Brigade, said the eight were considered security detainees - those who attacked or helped carry out attacks against coalition troops - and were being interrogated by military intelligence.

Karpinski said they are being held at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison, 12 miles west of Baghdad, one of the most potent symbols of Saddam Hussein's regime.

She would not provide further details.

It was the first time the U.S. military has acknowledged the detention of Westerners in connection with attacks on American troops in Iraq.

More Johnny Jihads?

It will be interesting to see which Islamonazi Mosques/leaders in America financed their way to Iraq.

Let me guess ... they are peace nitwits???

More college grads from Berkley?

I'd guess they're Arabs that happen to hold U.S./U.K. citizen/subjectship

Personally, I hope they are members of ANSWR, PETA, ELF, or the Sierra Club.

And my guess is that they are ALL registered democrats.

I was curious about that myself.

I hope they enjoy their time in jail, but they should be tried for treason.

And shot!!

[Miss Marple]

Thanks for posting this. I just heard it on Fox, quoting the AP wire story.

This seems to say they went above & beyond playing bongos in Baghdad:

It was the first time the U.S. military has acknowledged the detention of Westerners in connection with attacks on American troops in Iraq.

If they end up being from MoveOn.org, this is going to cap off my week.

[Miss Marple]

My thinking exactly. I want names so we can start searching them on the net.

[mabelkitty]

Holy S+++!

Let's keep a record of that election donation page for future reference. I think we'll find some interesting things when the names and associations are released to the public.

[Catspaw]

Yeah, I want their names, too--and what city & state spawned them.

[Grampa Dave]

It will be interesting to see who they are, their pictures and where they came from.

I wonder if Portland, Oregon/Seattle will be mentioned again as host cities.

Probably not too many ALFS/ELFS/PETAS/SIERRA CLUBBERS in groups like this. They have been charted as American Enviral Jihadists who operate in America with enviral/economic terrorism.

[Catspaw]

I'd also venture Dearborn, Michigan and in and around NYC/NJ.

I'm also curious about which groups they're affiliated with. And if they're Palestinian.

[Grampa Dave]

One can only hope that a lot of dots get connected, and the money trails are exposed for us to see.

[Grampa Dave]

When we find out, we owe to others on this thread to post the realities.

CNN journalists?
