If what we're hearing about the voice recording is correct, then it would seem that Zarqawi is still in Iraq somewhere. He's ellusive, but maybe we'll get a break somewhere along the way.

In terms of the propaganda side of the war I do think that this time he may have miscalculated. Zarqawi and his people have been brutally murdering people all along. That's why he is wanted man #3 or so. The Abu Ghraib matter really has nothing to do with his brutality and I think most people will not say, "Oh no, now we've made him really mad." I think most Americans will see it for what it is - a horribly graphic reminder of what we've been up against. If anything, this is likely to help put Abu Ghraib behind us, except for the clean up. We are not the soft Spanish middle who can be so easily manipulated.
