#1 I have learned not to get my hopes up on these announcements. Why do they bother - it seems the only advantage goes to Zark in this case. Let us know when we can see the remains, but keep quiet in the meantime.

#2 Let me know when they have him surrounded.

#3 there are intelligence reports stating that al-Zarqawi is in Diyala province near Baghdad

Just for a moment, allow me to slip into conspiracy theory mode and suggest that this implies that Zarq is *not* in Diyala, they have some idea of where he actually is and this is simply dis-information. Hey, I could be the next Karl Rove!

#4 "On another occasion, Iraqi officials said the police had captured Zarqawi, but then released him after three or four hours because they had failed to recognise him."
......FRUSTRATION.......... that just kills me.

#5 If he's wearing a bomb belt to not get captured, then how come he didn't 'splode when they got him that time?
