“Senior Zarqawi Leader” nabbed? Hardly

Very brief AP story blows apart the phrase – NOTE that even AP uses it in quotes, maybe this last paragraph is why:

Intelligence sources said the man captured was previously thought to be a relatively minor member of the terror network. But because so many of al-Zarqawi’s associates have been captured or killed, he moved up to take a more important role.

Yes, he did, as soon as he was captured.

Oh and while we are on the subject, this is a must read story in the Washington Post. Oh, and this one: THERE WAS NEVER AN ELECTION TERROR PLOT AT ALL
