Did anyone run with story that Jordan's King said that he told Saddam exactly where Zarqawi was and to turn him over and yet Saddam did nothing?

No, AP did not run with the story neither did Reuters and it was 4 days ago. It just died.

This story is much bigger and we have to make sure the media doesn't again try to just ignore another story and let it die like I am sure they will do otherwise. That is why I think we should email AP, Reuters, Fox, CNN, etc tonight and tomorrow with this story.

No, I don't find that they have. However I do see that that story came from the very same avenue that this one does. And starts out in about the same fashion.

Jordan king: Iraq refused to deport Zarqawi

By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL

Published May 19, 2005

BEIRUT, Lebanon -- Jordan's King Abdullah revealed Thursday that Iraq's former Baath regime had refused to deport Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, blamed for ongoing terrorism in Iraq.

Speaking in an interview with Saudi daily al-Hayat, Abdullah said Zarqawi, a Jordanian, is well entrenched in Iraq and that "he and terrorists like him thrive in such places where security and stability are non-existent."

I would think that King Abdullah would have revealed that info way before now if he was going to reveal it at all.
