I don't know who he was but I do know this: This is what we were expecting immediately after the war until it became clear we weren't going to get Saddam right away. Excuse me for stating the obvious.

And I wonder: Will the alphabet networks pick this up?

And I wonder: Will the alphabet networks pick this up?

If they do (highly debatable), they will -

1. Spin it as proof that all of Iraq is still in anarchy and chaos, and thus the Administration is lying about the progress we have made there.
2. Imply that this proves the Iraqis are savages who are not ready for civilization and the rule of law, so this just cements the need to not let the Iraqis try Saddam for war crimes.
3. Speculate that these aren't mobs of "real" Iraqis, but specially-trained death squads that the Administration is using to crush all "legitimate" dissent without getting their hands dirty.
4. Make ridiculous claims that the Administration should have predicted that this was going to happen, and given these ex-Baathists special protection.

If it helps Bush, no, they will not pick it up.
