Zarqawi might be dead. Fingers crossed.

More: It seems to me there’s more reason to hope than usual. Recall that Zarqawi clearly regretted blowing up that wedding in Jordan because it turned so many Arabs against him. He even came as close as he could to apologizing for it. That didn’t stop his family and tribe from renouncing him. Hopefully, that was an indication that new intelligence avenues were open to coalition forces. We’ll see.
