Sometimes The Good Guys Win

Sometimes The Good Guys Win - Mohammed Odeh al-Rehaief, the formerly anonymous Iraqi lawyer who tipped our snakeeaters off to Private Lynch's location, has been granted asylum and is in the US with his family now.

Prior to Tuesday, he was referred to as only as "Mohammed" in order to protect the safety of himself and his family while they were still in Iraq.

The Al Rehaief family arrived in the United States earlier this month after the Department of Homeland Security granted them "humanitarian parole." On Monday, the family was granted asylum by the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services.

"Mr. Al Rehaief should know Americans are grateful for his bravery and for his compassion," Ridge said.

Can you see the way this movie is shaping up?

I didn't mean that to sound as cynical as it looks, in this post-Letterman world...

In The Cards - Re: Iraq - I'm wondering who the marketing genius is that came up with the "Iraqi Leader Card Deck".

Seriously - the whole "We got the Eight of Clubs" thing is getting downright catchy.

Either some CENTCOM PR flak has a big career in advertising when he/she gets out of the service, or CENTCOM mobilized one hell of an idea guy from some firm somewhere...
