They had him within a few city blocks and he got away, but they captured his laptop, and have been using the information on it to raid Zarqawis leiutenants' base of operations. Lets hope they can flush this piece of crap without much more delay.

That was a bit of a googlie. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Still, it does make you wonder if all is as it appears. They're not stupid after all, so isn't there a risk that this laptop is in fact full of misinformation?

But yeah, here's hoping!

according to this article they apparently caught him with his pants down, and he only barely escaped.

But General Myers admitted the rate of insurgent attacks - currently at 50 to 60 each day - is now back up to 2004 levels after a drop following January’s election, which had led some Pentagon chiefs to suggest that the US could begin withdrawing its troops.
Ouch. Bad news.

You know, that's the world's most expensive laptop they found. Worth tens of billions and thousands of lives.

Sadly, I agree. Taking down Zarqawi won't end the insurgency, but it will at least boost morale amongst coalition and Iraqi troops, and hopefully cause a lul (however brief) in the death toll over there.

If it causes a "lul", it's not going to be a pretty sight.
