Interestingly enough, I found this information from Michelle Malkin, who I believe doesn't yet know the value of the press release she was sent from CENTCOM (UPDATE: Now she does). The purpose of the press release was to counter stories by the AP which seem to be false. But buried down in it is this from Brig. Gen. Abdul Kareem Khalaf Al-Kenani, Ministry of Interior spokesman:
(emphasis Dr. Shackleford's.)The third subject is, this week the strikes we made against the al-Qaeda terrorist organization in Baghdad were many and very strong in Baghdad. Before my arrival to this press conference, I was informed that one of the three who were just captured or detained is Mazer Al-Jubouri, aka the Baghdad Sniper, and his group. He admitted many things that are very important and very dangerous and our forces used this information about his network and conducted raids in the past 24 hours and detained 30 terrorists.
So, in a press release the Pentagon sends out to slap the MSM with the facts surrounding the AP's fictional "police chief", the good guys "let slip" that they caught a very bad guy, indeed. No doubt, the AP and al Reuters will be all over this. Oh, yaah, suuuuuure, ya betcha.
