I wonder why this info is so timely? One would think that it would be better to keep a capture like this under wraps as long as possible to take advantage of al-Zarqawi's communication issues. Either way it is another bad guy out of action.

I guess I don't know for sure. I suppose the person who wrote the story was wrong on the date of his capture but then again I wouldn't put it past a reporter to compromise sensative information to get a scoop.

Don't underestimate the expertise of good intelligence personnel. They release what the want and when they want, usually with a purpose. Just sit back and enjoy the show and don't second guess. You will be 99.9% wrong. :lifter
