"Arab linguists have said the man posing as the Jordanian Zaraqawi did not speak with a Jordanian dialect. Others have suggested the man reading the written statement may not have been a native speaker of Arabic."

How about some clarification here?

Which "Arab linguists"? Who are the "Others" that "have suggested"?

Maybe you're right, but this is pretty shadowy, the way it's written.

ok then just stick with the two most concrete points
we supposedly killed him prior to this video, and if he didnt die in that attack, he is MISSING A LEG. can you point to ANY of the bad guys in the video that appears to be using a prosthetic?
as for the other items. ive heard several arab linguists on newscasts (both radio and tv) saying that the man speaking does not have a jordanian accent. i dont know this for sure because I DONT SPEAK ARABIC

but I can tell you no one in that video is missing a leg or wearing a wooden one. thank you

The quick way to check the veracity of an alleged journalistic quote is to feed it into google.

Then you can see on how many crackpot blogsites are repeating the same unsourced statement and whether it is on any actual newsites.

It isn't legitmately sourced anywhere, of course.
