This Totally Blows
This slithering snake escaped justice:
Iraqi security forces caught the most wanted man in the country last year, but released him because they didn't know who he was, the Iraqi deputy minister of interior said Thursday.
Hussain Kamal confirmed that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- the al Qaeda in Iraq leader who has a $25 million bounty on his head -- was in custody at some point last year, but he wouldn't provide further details.
A U.S. official couldn't confirm the report, but said he wouldn't dismiss it.
"It is plausible," he said.
Thursday's news tops a list of reports of missed opportunities to capture the terrorist mastermind. An official said the military receives frequent reports of al-Zarqawi sightings, all of which are investigated.
Place your bets on how long it will take liberals to argue the following: we didn't have enough troops in Iraq for the aftermath so we had to outsource Iraqi security to the Iraqis so it's George Bush's fault we didn't capture him. You could point out to them that Senator Kerry wants us to outsource our "terrorizing kids and children" to the Iraqi Security forces, but they will just say that that was then and this is now.

Zarqawi only has one leg. Kind of unlikely that his captors missed that. I doubt this story a lot.
Plus, Zarqawi is one of those types that will go down fighting. I doubt he'd let them capture him.
