Mr Porretto, like Lots of folks is discussing the Zarqawi deal and I have yet to see anyone even bring up what I consider the most salient point of the whole affair.

US Intelligence had inside information, confirmation, of the existence of Zarqawi. And that info was good, and that info paid of.

What does that mean, really?

Simple. It means that within the very secretive and bizzarre society of the terrorist community, the US Military has allies. We have people at the TOP. People who knew where Zarqawi was, and could pinpoint his location. The armor of Islam as terror is cracking. That is the salient point. Taste that. Taste the flavor of it, roll it around your tongue like a fine wine. Even within the terrorist organizations themselves, Terrorism is beginning to crumble. Relish this moment.
