Has Carlson officially backtracked on this or further acknowledged it at all? After nearly 24 four hours without even the slightest confirmation, this was clearly a false report, right? Isn't Sadr too high profile to have his capture go unnoticed for this long?

Oh well, I still have hope that there's a good chance that the current round of attacks on Najaf will return some good news on al Sadr soon.

I have been listening to the first 2 hours of John Carlson, and not a word. Like someone said in an earlier post, I think the source in Iraq is Brian Suits, who use to do the 6-9pm sho on KVI radiobefore his reserve unit was called up.

My opinion - He may have been a little too eager to break this story. It's one thing when Freepers get excited about a rumor like this, but a radio host who is broadcasting to thousands should have a little bit more descression before saying anything. But then again, who knows maybe the story is true and there is a news blackout for security reasons. I want so bad to give John the benifit of the doubt.

Fingers still crossed. I will keep my ears open.
