...pundits. The interrogations were suitably aggressive - the let's-pretend network must have been Fox News - though only a few newbie talking heads were rattled. One gentleman who came forward to playact a Q&A on the war in Iraq was asked if the recent capture and killing of terrorist al-Zarqawi showed that the Bush war was, in fact, working. Reviewing the tape afterwards, one of the workshop leaders complimented him on his quick recovery. He allowed that the feat was all the more impressive considering that he didn't even know Zarqawi was dead until he was asked...
This morning, Pentagon halls are buzzing with the reverberations of the killing of terrorist leader Abu Mousab Al Zarqawi last night in an airstrike in Iraq. There is a huge-if brief-sense of relief about finally taking out the symbolic and logistical heart of the Iraqi insurgency. In part, that is because the small, covert, 12-man teams of U.S. special forces have been chasing Zarqawi for years.

While Washington slept, Iraqis had announced that an American air strike had killed Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, who competed only with Osama bin Laden for the title of world's most wanted terrorist. Speaking live for six minutes on the network morning shows, the President said coalition and Iraqi forces had "persevered through years of near misses and false leads, and they never gave up." The congratulations stopped there...
...savagery of Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi may have earned him too many enemies. The terrorist responsible for some of the most gruesome killings in Iraq was killed in a joint U.S.-Iraqi military operation Wednesday, after the U.S. and its allies had finally located him. A well-placed intelligence source in Jordan told TIME that the CIA was tipped off after Jordanian intelligence learned of a meeting that Zarqawi planned to hold in the town of Baquba, north of Baghdad. His safe house was targeted in an air attack, and, says the same source, the Jordanian-born leader...
