Despite fighting in the CIA-backed war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, [al-Zarqawi] does not adhere to the ideology of al-Qaeda, a view shared by the CIA. Indeed, his name does not figure on its list of the 22 most wanted Islamic terrorists and he has never been mentioned in the list of senior al-Qaeda men in bin Laden's entourage in Afghanistan. [Guardian - 2/2/03]
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi:
The Dead Voice of "al Qaeda" in Iraq
When you hear Zarqawi mentioned in the news just have a think about the following...
A Jordanian extremist suspected of bloody suicide attacks in Iraq was killed some time ago in U.S. bombing and a letter outlining plans for fomenting sectarian war is a forgery, a statement allegedly from an insurgent group west of the capital said.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in the Sulaimaniyah mountains of northern Iraq “during the American bombing there,” according to a statement circulated in Fallujah this week and signed by the “Leadership of the Allahu Akbar Mujahedeen.”

Confusion over Zarqawi's fate
By Magdi Abdelhadi
BBC World Service Arab affairs analyst
There is continued speculation about the fate of Jordanian militant and al-Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
The Iraqi government has said it can confirm reports that Zarqawi has been injured. But the government could not say how serious his injuries were or whether he was still in Iraq.
The announcement follows a stream of recent reports about the man's health and his whereabouts.

2. If he actually is alive, how come no one wants that 25 MILLION dollars in reward money? You'd think someone in the know would flip for that amount.

1. Why doesn't the CIA just go to the source of those web postings?

That is the $64,000 question: Why doesn't the CIA just go to the source of those web postings?
I mean, videotapes and audiotapes delivered as regular as Fed Ex, and we can't trace them back to their source? C'mon!
