Al Qaeda in Iraq Has Job Opening   [Cliff May]

The Pentagon said today it has custody of 'Abd al-Hadi — one of al Qaeda's most senior and  experienced operatives. He is said to be responsible for plotting cross-border attacks from Pakistan on U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

Abd al-Hadi is an Iraqi. When captured, he was trying to return to Iraq to work for al-Qaida there.

Tom Joscelyn points out on his blog that ‘Abd al-Hadi also was once a major in Saddam's army. He finds that interesting, and suggests some questions interrogators and the MSM ought to be asking. ‘Abd al-Hadi is now at Guantanamo. Question for those who want Guantanamo shut down: Where would your rather this guy be detained – assuming you agree he should be detained?
