I realize this but I also feel that this kind of thing deserves to bee taken notice of in addition to the military information campaign of pumping up Zarqawi to be something he may not have been. If we really belive in a true healthy democracy that means a thinking and critical citizenry presented with all the information.
I am not really sugesting anything except to say "look at this".
"Some senior intelligence officers believe Zarqawi's role may have been overemphasized by the propaganda campaign, which has included leaflets, radio and television broadcasts, Internet postings and at least one leak to an American journalist."

also I am not direspecting or trivializing the hard work, sacrafice and resources (or the blood, sweat and tears) our military has put into killing an enemy of this nature.
I have however said that the trust the President, the pentagon and the intelligence community have batrayed in the eyes of the people will come at a cost and is bad for the country and a deception of democracy.
