Iraq Police Net Over 500 Suspects in Baghdad

From Reuters

More good news from Iraq. First we have Al Qaeda fleeing Iraq and now the new government is rounding up all the criminals Saddam let loose.

The former Iraqi president released all common criminals as part of an amnesty in October 2002, a move that many say has contributed to a surge in crime.

Wow! Who would have believed Al Reuters would say that?

"The number (of detainees) is more than we expected," he told Reuters, adding that those held included suspected drug dealers and weapons traders.

Excellent! Squeeze them from all sides. How long before Falluja is next?
