Who's on first?

More good news from Iraq. As we discussed yesterday, in Iraq, not unlike Vietnam it's not always easy to tell friend from foe. Well, here we go again, the U.S. Arrests Senior Commander of Iraqi National Guard

The American military said today that it had arrested a senior commander of the nascent Iraqi National Guard, raising concerns about the loyalty and reliability of the new security forces just months before general elections are scheduled to be held across the embattled country.

The Iraqi commander, Brig. Gen. Talib Abid Ghayib al-Lahibi, based in restive Diyala Province, was arrested last Thursday for "having associations with known insurgents," the military said in a written statement.

And U.S. troops are supposed to give these Iraqi National Guardsman guns and go out on missions with them?
