Mudville gives us this from Centcom:

THREE OF FOUR KEY TALHA LEADERS CAPTURED IN MOSUL
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Multi-National Forces detained a key leader of the al Qaida-linked Abu Musab al-Zarqawi terrorist network in Mosul on Dec. 22.
Following a thorough investigation, the individual detained was positively identified as Abdul Aziz Sa'dun Ahmed Hamduni, aka Abu Ahmed.
Abu Ahmed served as a deputy to the emir of Mosul, Abu Talha, and assumed command of terrorist operations in Mosul in Abu Talha's absence. Abu Ahmed admitted to receiving money and weapons from Abu Talha as well as coordinating and conducting terrorist attacks in Mosul.
"The capture of Abu Ahmed, and the subsequent capture of Abu Marwan on 23 December, show significant progress in the inevitable destruction of the Abu Talha-led Al-Queda-Zarqawi terrorist network in Mosul," said Brig. Gen. Erwin F. Lessel III, spokesman for Multi-National Forces-Iraq.

Mudville thinks this is where the Zarqawi captured rumors came from.



Slate Magazine gives us these interesting items:

Food and Drug Administration
Outlets: Washington Post, Dec. 27; Associated Press, Dec. 28

Gist: The FDA has approved a study to see whether Ecstasy can help terminally ill cancer patients mellow out, connect with their families, and find spiritual transcendence. Another study is testing Ecstasy on post-traumatic stress disorder. Two others are testing psilocybin ("magic mushrooms") on obsessive-compulsive disorder and terminal cancer.

Then Slate asked this question:

"Maybe we're finally admitting it's OK to get high."

WHAT?????????!!!! *shakes head* This may be a liberal online magazine, but there are adults there? Right? I mean they aren't really 17 yr olds running the place over there, are they?

But then again, that would explain a lot.

Then there is this as well:

Item: More adult women are having unprotected intercourse.
Source: National Center for Health Statistics
Outlet: Washington Post, Jan. 4

Gist: From 1995 to 2002, the percentage of sexually active adult women not using contraception rose from 5.2 to 7.4. This could increase unintended pregnancies by more than 20 percent.

Liberal spin: This is the tragic result of insufficient sex education, too much abstinence-only curriculum.

What world are these guys living in? Insufficient sex education??????
COULD WE HAVE ANY MORE SEX EDUCATION????? Have you seen the condom commercials on MTV? They have Trojan Man for God's sake. I am not kidding. Celebrities do PSA's, The public schools practically THROW the condoms at the kids. Every show on TV or movie has the romantic love scene starting with "honey, (they say that because they aren't sure of the other person's name) You have protection, right?"

Hey! Liberal Idiots over at Slate, maybe more adult women are having unprotected sex because of the tragic result OF THE WOMEN BEING SLUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe since Slate thinks we are finally admitting it's OK to get high, maybe the women think it is finally OK to be bed hopping skanks.

Don't you just love liberalism? They BLAME the precise thing that would STOP unprotected sex as the REASON we have it. Guess what? Abstinence works EVERY time it is tried! That's right!!! No unplanned pregnancies, no abortions, no STD's, no AIDS, No feeling used, no being a man ho or slut.
If your married, then unprotected sex doesn't have all those things to worry about.

But their response to that is that we are animals and cannot control ourselves enough to wait until we are married. Well, that's not exactly what they say, but close enough.

Well, we are not animals, we are humans. We have the ability to show restraint. Some of us waited for marriage and never had to sweat over a cold sink wondering if the little stick was going to turn pink and turn our world upside down. It was a simple decision and some of us made the right one. I believe others can too.

Unlike Slate Magazine.
