Cap look at this lead sentence in the CNN article.

-- A 17-page document seized at a suspected al Qaeda safe house in Baghdad

See how confusing this is.....if this is correct it wasn't found on Ghul.....but in Zarqawi's safehouse.

From the snippet at #18 we have:

Kimmitt: Sure. We picked this memo up from the courier as part of ongoing military and security operations inside this country.

Yes, in my post 20 I cut and pasted three different variations on the story, then Gen Kimmit was quoted giving a plain vanilla version that could fit any and all that are out there.
The safe house seizure location is one of the three.

I did earlier see the 17 page thing, but I don't remember where. I suppose a computer document could be in a 17 page format. It may be that when the document was printed out and shown to a reporter it took up 17 pages. I don't think that part of the story is important.

Later in the CNN piece above we have this:

The letter was on a computer disk captured in January along with Hassan Ghul, a man identified as an al Qaeda courier, senior coalition officials said. Ghul identified Zarqawi as the letter's author, one official said.
