| From the enemy - Al Jazeera, via Bros. Judd: Reports in Kuwait on Friday said a man assumed to be Al Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Musab Zarqawi has been captured near the Syrian border. The report claimed that the man was captured during a joint operation by U.S. occupation forces and Iraqi police, Al Siyasah newspaper, quoting Iraqi sources, said Friday. It also said that the suspect was caught in a white shirt and jeans, and he gave no resistance when he realized his hideout was besieged, according to Iraqi police. The U.S. and Iraqi investigators are trying to identify the captive and has sent his DNA sample for testing, the unconfirmed report indicated. Zarqawi is the most wanted suspect in Iraq and has a U.S. bounty of $25 million on his head. ----- |

| #9 How many times have we "caught" him so far? Never mind the 48 hour rule. If it involves Zarqawi, I'm involving my "I'll believe it when it's officially confirmed by a named official source" rule. Not, mind you, that I don't hope that it's true... this time. |

| #8 Latest conspiracy theory (but I forget where I read it and if it was serious or satirical): Bush deliberately held back info on this so it would not disrupt Kerry's speech. He wanted people to be sure to get a good look at him and hear what he had to say LOL. FIENDISH republicans, no? |
