U.S. military says it has captured arms dealer with connections to Iran

BAGHDAD –— The U.S. military said Sunday it had captured the leader of an "assassination squad" who is also an arms dealer with connections to Iran.

The man, who was not identified by name, was allegedly also responsible for arranging the transport of militants back and forth from Iran for weapons and tactics training, officials said.

The U.S. military in Iraq has repeatedly blamed Iran for training and arming many of the Shiite militants in Baghdad and southern Iraq. The military has taken to calling these fighters —– largely members of Shiite militias who have defied cease-fires called for by leaders like Muqtada al-Sadr — "criminals" or members of "Special Groups."

Iranian government officials have denied any involvement in shipping weapons to Iraq or training militants. For its part, the Iranian regime last week accused the U.S. of trying to "turn the Iraqis into slaves" with a long-term security deal.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was in Tehran on Sunday to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Maliki’s third visit to Iran since taking office.

1. Yeah, and we're gonna believe a tortured prisoner because...?

Bushite torture gives the lie to everything Bushites, and Bushite-controlled U.S. military leakers, say. They are liars. They can force anyone to say anything. And they can just make shit up as well--because, in BushWorld, prisoners have no recourse to the outside world.

Notice, also, that it is "the U.S. military" that is speaking. Who is that? Nowhere in this article is an actual person quoted or referred to, as the source of this info. And get this...

"Few details were given about the arrest of the suspected militant in Baghdad, though military officials said he was arrested with a second man, described as his 'associate.'"

Notice the passive tense. (Few details "were given." By whom? Doesn't say.)

All the signatures of lies and disinformation. Take it with a grain of salt--or less.

----------

Have they caught Chalabi yet--or Manucher Ghorbanifar? The scumbag Iranian liars and weapons dealers who fed disinformation--including Iranian disinformation--to the Pentagon, to the White House and to the American people, on the Pentagon's payroll?

No, those rats are still running around--living high on our dollar!

This is all so utterly corrupt and disgusting, it is beyond belief.
