Hussain Kamal confirmed that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- the al Qaeda in Iraq leader who has a $25 million bounty on his head -- was in custody at some point last year, but he wouldn't provide further details.
A U.S. official couldn't confirm the report, but said he wouldn't dismiss it.
wow they actually had the mystery one legged man! and let him go.........
this is unbelievable!

What good would an Al-Zarqawi or a Bin Laden do us locked up?
They are the backrop for this war on terror, remember?

this is actually old news, from January of this year, I believe.
I have to wonder why CNN is bringing this up now? or did another incident happened and Al-zarqawi got away for second time while in custody.

Al Zarqawi Captured in Fallujah Then Released
The following story was reported for Voice of America by Alisha Ryu (1/24/05)
BAGHDAD: A suicide bomber from Saudi Arabia, who survived a failed attempt to blow up the Jordanian mission Baghdad in December, alleges that Iraqi police may have captured, and then released, the most wanted terrorist in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, two months ago. Both U.S. and Iraqi officials could not confirm the claims made by the suicide bomber. [Comment: American military sources have just confirmed this story, saying Zarqawi was in custody and released either through bungling or because the Iraqi police were sympathetics to his cause.

Good news would be if there was no Patriot Act, no spying of US citizens, Dick Cheney's retirement, you get the picture.
Are you saying we dont matter, only the "war" matters? The voting went well? Good for them.
What matters is US. Plain and simple.
And...its a royal mess here

No, I don't remember, but there's no point in asking you to prove your claim, you just post your theories and can’t support them.

The Continuing Adventures of Al-Zarqawi the Superterrorist: Episode 28
Iraq Security Guy Abu: Hey, this guy with only one leg looks kinda familiar.
Iraq Security Guy Mohammed: Hey yeah, I was thinking that too.
Iraq Security Guy Abu: You there, with the missing leg. What's your name?
Al-Zarqawi Superterrorist: Umm...Bob.
Iraq Security Guy Abu: Bob, ey? Hmm...that's an unusual name for an Arabic man.
Iraq Security Guy Mohammed: I got it! He look's like that al-Zarqawi!
Al-Zarqawi Superterrorist (waving hand in a smooth motion): I am not the droid you are looking for.
Iraq Security Guy Abu (in monotonal voice): This is not the droid we are looking for.
Al-Zarqawi Superterrorist: You will release me.
Iraq Security Guy Abu (still in monotonal voice): We will release him.
Al-Zarqawi Superterrorist: You will give me $50 and that last slice of pizza over there.
Iraq Security Guy Abu: Ok, now you just took it too far.
Al-Zarqawi Superterrorist: Oh, alright, can we just do the release part then?
Iraq Security Guy Abu: Sure. There ya go. See you around, eh?
Al-Zarqawi Superterrorist runs away.
Iraq Security Guy Abu: What a nice guy... ... ... ...HEY!!
But it was too late...
Tune in next time when Al-Zarqawi the Superterrorist threatens the free world with a nuclear bomb made out of Twinkies!

You almost seem bitter about it going well. Is this because a successful Iraq means you were not only wrong and Bush would be redeemed? The very thought just churns your stomach doesn’t it?
