"No disrespect intended, but don't they all have similar names? Surprised it has not happened before."
Is that like saying all black people look similar?
They don't all have 'similar' names, but just like any culture there are a lot of "Johns," "Jeffs" and "Mr.Smiths."

Dionys, did you read the article?
If you did then you would know info about the who was arrested AND the confusion came from the commander of Iraqi forces in the Mosul, not the US.
Are you lecturing the Iraqi's them selves about their culture?
FTA
"Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammed al-Askari said the confusion arose because the commander of Iraqi forces in the Mosul region was convinced that he had arrested al-Masri â;; also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir".

One person being confused by one person's name when thinking it could be a different person doesn't imply that there is a general "confusion" surrounding all names, nor does it imply that all Iraqis or Arabs have similar names. Don't they teach basic logic these days?

The capture of any any al Qaida militant is good news.
1 down, 2,345,523 to go!
Kinda like making a thousand dollar payment on the interest only portion of the 10 trillion Bush National Debt. Better than nothing, even though the interest alone is a billion per day.

No Dionys, its like saying the Iraqi Commander was convinced that he had arrested al-Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir" based on name, looks, whatever.
"Don't they teach basic logic these days?"
Yes and basic logic would tell the Iraqi commander same name (s) AKAs, matches description, hey look who we got.
Kinda sorta ya know what happened.
"Is that like saying all black people look similar?"
Are you still beating your mother?
