1. that's strange, no US media reporting this

they would JUMP on it, if it were true.

[NewEmanuelGoldstein]

11. Just like they

Jumped on the Reagan sainthood story.

[WLKjr]

2. news reports it as 'rumor'

They say someone was captured with that last name but they cant confirm it IS him but it may not be him.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. It's actual Albert Zarkowski, a local butcher. He's being interrogated

at Abu Ghraib for a while just to be sure though.

[lostnfound]

5. Not necessarily -- might be timing it for 6 oclock news. nt

3. US Denies Capture of Al-Zarqawi

HOT NEWS 06.28.2004 Monday

US Denies Capture of Al-Zarqawi

Al-Arabiya television claims in a news story based on a US Army Spokesman's statement that one of the leaders of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, has been captured.

The US Army on the other hand deny that they have captured Al-Zarqawi.

"This is not true. I can say to you that Al-Zarqawi has not been captured," declared one of the assistants of Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt.

[underpants]

8. Maybe they "captured" his "amputated leg"

Sorta kinda counts, right?

Of course they already had their chances.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4431601/

But NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and perhaps kill Zarqawi himself — but never pulled the trigger.

[NewEmanuelGoldstein]

13. which doesn't exist

Since he actually has 2 working legs.

The fuckups said the guy had one leg originaly. If you guess that a person has 1 leg with your first guess and get it wrong there's something seriously wrong going on.

[imax2268]

6. I guess

he wasn't wearing his name tag...

[Blue-Jay]

7. Well, THAT oughtta fix everything.

Iraq is a sovereign nation once again!

Hooray!

:\

[imax2268]

9. BBC says it was his "aide"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3777353.stm

[Guaranteed]

10. I'm not seeing anything being blocked...

The story's up.

[stickdog]

15. The block has been lifted and the story has been changed.

Look at the google link before and compare it to the new story before they change the google link, too.

[RUSTY SHACKLEFORD]

12. Hey, this post is for the spooks...

Can you guys really block a news story from hitting the net?

Man, what the rest of us wouldn't give to know all that tradecraft...

too bad they keep tripping over their own dicks all the time. Guess that's the price of "compartmentalization"...

[RUSTY SHACKLEFORD]

14. Isn't this a story in and of itself?

So the CIA is capable of blocking news, but not capable of keeping you from knowing they are blocking the news? Interesting....

[stickdog]

16. It looks like it was a rush job. All fixed now except for the stray

news.google.com link.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

17. How do you know the CIA is behind this? My educated guess is the OSP.

[RUSTY SHACKLEFORD]

18. Yeah. You're probably right.

I just assumed based on the address being McLean, VA. Everybody knows that's CIA. Probably the OSP behind it using the Agency as a shit-screen for any blowback. These spooks cover all their bases...

[stickdog]

19. I don't know. It's a company called Servint and it's in McLean, VA.

Fill in the blanks.

I just said CIA to get some quick help.

So this news source is based in Jordan, has an office in London and is just one step away from ServInt in McLean, VA on the internet?

That's spreading your infrastructure out, huh?

[doni_georgia]

21. Let's see, so far in the last two years he has been reported dead,

captured, losing a limb, and now captured again. We don't even know if the guy is really alive. I'm telling you some big story is about to break guys. The Bush machine is working overtime to create positive press today.
