Iragi Army captures IED cell leader

[Eagle1]

A CentCom press release reports the capture by the Iraqi army of an IED cell leader.

I guess the choice of what to do with him is up to the Iraqis, applying Iraqi law.

My instinct, as I say in my post: "I suppose I'd let him ride in various vehicles traveling the roads of IED land pending his trial...sort of putting him on "point" if you get my drift."

Maybe you have some suggestions?

From the link in your story it looks like the People's Collective has decided to abandon the "simple Navy sailor" angle on Comrade Hutto.

Jonathan Hutto graduated from Howard University with a degree in political science and a résumé of social activism.

He worked for the American Civil Liberties Union and Amnesty International after college. He whipped up grass-roots protests against police departments and college administrators.

One day in 2003, broke and seeking direction, Hutto enlisted in the Navy.

The Navy couldn't have known it then, but they know it now: They had signed up a sailor strongly opposed to the Iraq war.

Certainly closer to the truth than the original coverage - perhaps they've adopted the "partial truth" approach now in hopes of undoing some of the damage we did to them. It would be nice if they'd tell the full story of this well-organized and funded campaign, but I suppose that's a start.

Here's an interesting triptych:

Hutto is a finalist again for sailor of the year, yet he still raises some eyebrows with the photos of Malcolm X, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Che Guevara at his desk aboard ship.
In honor of that, I've created one of my own:
