News reports indicate that 70 militants linked to al-Qaeda have surrendered to US forces west of Baghdad: After the mediation of tribal leaders, almost half of those who surrendered agreed to return to their original clans, hand over their arms to the Americans, and promise to give up armed conflict if their names were removed from the most wanted list. "Most of the people who were arrested are from al-Qaeda," said an Iraqi police source. "The rest were part of the Rashidin Army and the Islamic Army of Iraq."
Rico says it sounds like they got off easy...
