It looks like the ordinary Iraqi on the street has had it with the terrorism, car bombs, suicide bombers, etc., and perhaps they realize that the sooner the violence stops, the sooner the new Iraqi government will be in full control, and the sooner the US troops will leave.

A high-ranking member of al Qaeda in Iraq, known as the "Butcher," was captured by local citizens and turned over to the U.S. military and Iraqi forces, the U.S. military said.
Amir Khalaf Fanus was wanted in connection with several killings and kidnappings and was No. 3 on the most-wanted list of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team that patrols the area west of Baghdad.
Local citizens brought him to a base in the city of Ramadi, in the Sunni Triangle about 60 miles west of Baghdad, the U.S. military said.
Further details were not available.
"His capture is another indication that the local citizens tire of the insurgents' presence within their community," the U.S. military said in a written statement. "Iraqi and U.S. forces have witnessed increasing signs of citizens fighting the terrorists within Ramadi as the December 15 national elections draw nearer."
