Abu Ayyub al-Masri Captured in Iraq

[RTK]

I was wondering what the issues would be between MNF-I and MOD since we basically said they were wrong. Anyone else think we should have allowed the Iraqis to correct themselves instead of doing it for them, kinda like when we should have allowed them to announce the capture of Saddam?

But looking at it from a coalition standpoint it may be somewhat difficult still to get some of those within the Iraqi leadership to willingly admit being wrong, and in that case better we point it out than AQI or others suddenly post a vid with him reading tomorrows paper all about how dead he is
