Other American information about Mr. Zarqawi has also been incorrect. At first it was said that he had a leg amputated during a Baghdad hospital visit, but now, a senior United States military official said in an e-mail message, "we believe Zarqawi has both legs, and reporting of the missing limb was disinformation."

So, he stayed in a Baghdad hospital for two months doing something else? Getting Kerryfied with botox? Plastic surgery? Or was he just there for the jello? Why would someone want to be anonymous just to make comments like these?
