BAGHDAD, Iraq (June 15) - Documents and computer records seized after the raid on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's hideout have given the Iraqi government the upper hand in its fight against al-Qaida in Iraq, the national security adviser said Thursday.
National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie also estimated that a large number of U.S.-led forces will leave Iraq by the end of this year, and a majority will be gone by the end of next year. "And maybe the last soldier will leave Iraq by mid 2008," he said.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, meanwhile, pressed forward with his carrot and stick approach of cracking down on violence in Baghdad while promoting national reconciliation with those willing to cooperate with the political process as Iraqis endured a second day of checkpoints and traffic jams.
Gunmen killed an engineer and kidnapped another, and a detergent workers was shot to death as he was headed to work elsewhere in western Baghdad, police said, but no major violence was reported in the capital, a day after a major security operation was launched.

You can be sure that Z kept his most critical info in his pocket.
Its mind blowing...if it is what I suspect it contained.
Enroute to Tehran, perhaps?
Wow, what a coup! Just curious, did they find the "Dixie Chicks" on Zarqawi's I-Pod?
A: names and contact info for all his senior people, financial records and who's giving him the money. Basicly his whole address book and financial info.
His worldwide network...his sleepers.
"Its mind blowing...if it is what I suspect it contained"
I wonder how many DIMs are sweating that out?
OK, just to nit pick AP's writing, what the hell does this mean?
"...and a detergent workers was shot to death"
That statement may be for prop purposes only. Give the terroristas a false sense of hope and security so activity is slowed down for a long while.......
Q: What is it that Z-man would never want to lose?
His Password to DU............
Exactly right. Just the fact that the new PM is vocal and seems determined to clean up the country is good news. It looks like it's not going to be business as usual.
You think Al-Qaeda and the "insurgents" realize that once we do leave Iraq that they are going to last about a week?
We follow rules. The heavily-armed and vengeance-seeking Iraqis who will be 100% in charge when we leave will not be so constrained, and they have lost friends, neighbors and family to the forces of darkness. Many of them will be Shi'ites and Kurds with old scores to settle from back in Saddam's days.
When we pull out it's going to be a really bad time to be a bad guy.
What is a thumbdrive and why is this a significant find?...and if it's a significant find, why in the world would it be in his pocket?
Must be Mac's.
DIMs.......That should be Dhims........(Dhimmikratz)
I'll wait for the "thumbdrive" response. Then it looks like you're the only computer illiterate. :-) Shhhh....Secret!!
Probably, lots of porn.
I looked it up....It's a teeny, tiny wireless computer.
They killed Mr. Clean.
Quit lyin' to my girl Gwen. She ain't that gullible.
