"Lion of Kurdistan" wants al-Zarqawi

We all remember the highly publicized capture of Saddam Hussein in 2003. But did you know the man who helped bring him down was a former member of the Taliban who was tortured by Saddam's secret police.

He is Kusrat Rassul Ali, known locally as the "Lion of Kurdistan".

And now he is setting his sights on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, according to Kurdish Media.

Ali is a shady character to say the least. He claims to want freedom for the Iraqi people but it seems like a better word would be revenge.

Is this the way to build a democracy in Iraq and spread liberty in the world?
