Actually Sean didn't say he's dead. I made that conclusion based on two postings that refered to him as a martyr.
Based on the audio tape I heard this morning, I would have to say that my conclusion was not accurate - for some reason the jihadis were posting that Zarqawi was dead and I was using that as the basis of that conclusion. For whatever reason, they were not posting accurate information. Whether that was deliberate on their part or not I have no clue.
It's not the first time that disinformation about Zarqawi's status has been floated - he has been rumored to have been dead before.
So don't blame Sean for saying Zarqawi was dead - that was my statement, and it was based on what appeared to be the most accurate and current information.
The best info I have now is based on a series of postings that Zarqawi made today, and a posting made on his behalf by Global Islamic Media.
The statement about Fallujah was made by a different person, but was also released on Global Islamic Media.
I think there is more about it at the NEIN website.
The stuff about Fallujah has me uneasy. I think there's a pretty good possibility something ugly is going to happen there soon. I hope I'm wrong.

I pray we are both wrong on that.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on Zarqawi. I get so confused at times. We all post so much, there is so much to take in, so many odd threats, weird pictures etc. If I had the time I guess I would take notes. I may have a lot of time this summer if I don't find another job.
Hey maybe we should all go in together and write a book, everybody else is. We could call it "The Citizens Fight Against the Jihadis" AKA Threat Matrix 101. Everything we never wanted to know about Muslims fanatics and the Koran. Or Threat Matrix For Dummies ;-)

I agree. I fear our forces are in grave peril.
