Iraq - Zarqawi Capture Old News

While the rest of the world's media are on an Iraqi keystone cops case,al Reuters reports what we already knew.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi deputy interior minister said on Friday a report that Iraq's most wanted man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, had been briefly detained and then released was many months old and there was no new information.

"More than a year ago the Iraqi police in Falluja captured Zarqawi but released him after three or four hours because they did not recognize him," Hussein Kamal told Reuters.


Flashback to Powerline on Jan. 4, 2005.

Now there are indeed rumors, apparently originating with news sources in the Emirates and in Kurdish Iraq, that Zarqawi has been captured.


Now why do you suppose the world's media choose the day of Iraq's elections to rehash this old news? To make the Iraqis look bad.

And in America, after sitting on the story for a year, MSM decide to report on NSA's spying internally, on the same day. To make Bush look bad.

Coincidence? I think not.
