Wild Thing's comment........
I like this, to see the Iraqi's wanting to do the right thing. This may only be about one citizen in this story but it has been happening and don't you just know that Reid, Pelosi, Murtha etc. hate stories like this.

More Iraqis will get involved as they see their info sucessfully acted on. I understand the civilians are getting tired of being the victims of terrorists and want the terrorists gone.
