http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20071023/wl_time/cuttingadealwithmahdimilitants Could someone explain what is really happening here? Is this behavior normal for that culture? It sounds like we caught someone VERY important. Have we identified others whose capture could have simular effect?

Arabs understand the concept of HOSTAGE. Yes we got somebody important-to them.

But what rank/significance do these guys hold that their being captured produces instant negotiations and near capitulation?
