Asymmetrical Information

The page cannot be found, so I don't know what's fantastic.

Darn those Iraqis! Didn't they get the memo? This was supposed to be announced during, not after, the Democrat convention! Can't they do anything right?

Any or all captures will have little or no effect on the election.

Well, the correct link would help.

The 48 hour rule is in effect. Except I think we should make it a 96 hour rule.

And let me be the first to say, "THE TIMING IS VERY SUSPICIOUS!"

(Yeah, David Walser implied it, but I was the first to say it.)

I always thought it was the 72-hour rule myself. The timing of the matter is frankly irrelevant although it probably won’t stop the moon bat crowd from concocting all of sorts of conspiracy theories. I just hope that they don’t find out we really had Bin Laden on ice for about the last eighteen months and we’re planning on revealing it the Friday before the election. ;)

Certainly, newsworthy things in Iraq/Iran/Saudi Arabia should be judiciously time-released in a well lubricated easy to swallow capsule. It is in the public's interest, no?

I'm skeptical.

Still, fingers crossed.

CBC News cites conflicting reports-

BAGHDAD - There are conflicting reports that one of Washington's most wanted men has been captured in Iraq.

Al-Arabiya television reported Monday that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is in custody, but the head of the U.S. military in Iraq denied the reports.

Note that the CBC news report is from June 28, so it would seem unlikely that it is commenting on the Al Bawaba report of July 30. More likely is that this rumor has popped up before, much like the frequent captures of Bin Ladin.

Of course, every time I hear the rumors, I still hope that they're true.

This is a recycling of a story that actually roiled the currecny markets on Thursday, but was denied.

Interestingly, the denial seems to be anonymous, and very weak. so we are keeping hope alive.

The Command Post had yesterday's version (all detals match - Syrian border, joint US/Iraqi arrest, clothing).

Wow. I never knew Texans were such massive choadsmokers.

Wait. Yes I did...

Man, throw in a site for Cheap V!agrA and you've got yourself a royal Spam Flush.

What's with all the spam?

Code Orange based off mostly 3 and 4 year old intell is shameless rumor mongering. So was the Qadaffi disavowing terrorism, as hes now implicated in plotting the assassination of the Saudi crown prince. Berger has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing at the Archives, so theres another rumor squashed.

Geez, this post seems to be a magnet for off topic responses.

Now, if only I could get a line on some bamboo....

We probably won't hear anything more about this until US soldiers march him onto the podium in chains at the republican convention. (jk)
