WIIIAI comments on the "mistaken" arrest of Sunni leader Abdul-Hamid

Background.
Oopsy: This is the Pentagon statement on the seizure of Mohsen Abdul-Hamid: “Following the interview it was determined that he was detained by mistake and should be released. ... Coalition forces regret any inconvenience...” First, don’t blame it on a “coalition” when it was a purely American operation. Second, an “interview” starts with being asked to sit and would you like some coffee, not with having a hood thrown over your head and being dragged out of your house. Third, a bigger lexicographical problem continues to be that word “mistake”: it’s a day and a half later, the Pentagon still hasn’t clarified the nature of the mistaken behooding and seizure of the head of the largest Sunni party, and nobody seems to be asking them to do so.

Oh, and by the bye, I've been calling the Royal Butthole a Saturday Night Live parody of himself. WIIIAI calls him "Cliff Claven and Ted Baxter rolled up into one." Yes.
