Looks like that "Al Zarqawi captured" story was a hoax.
It appeared this morning in the Tass News Agency website, the China Daily, as well as a few other foreign papers (and not on Al-Jazeera).

NOBODY is picking it up in the US. None of the major networks and papers, not even FOX, and Drudge is casting doubt on it too. You know Drudge and FOX would get all wet inside to propagate the story if there was even a chance it was true. This White House has been on a real losing streak since the election and they are desperate for a victory.

Still, as bad as our media is here, we often forget that many other nations are skilled at the art of propaganda too.

1. Reminds me of that "Election Fraud" story.
Not to say it's not possible, but just because the MSM doesn't report it doesn't necessarily mean it didn't happen.

2. A real losing streak
since the election? That's only been two months. Don't you wish Democrats could lose like that, 'cause I sure do.
