Chaos Among Iraqi "Insurgents?" Say it Ain't So

The NY Post is the first newspaper that seems to tell it like it is: "Zarqawi Gang in Chaos." The rest of the media seems to fret about using language that actually depict the U.S. and Iraq starting to win against the terrorists.

Iraq's interior and defense ministers said yesterday they have information that Zarqawi has been wounded — confirmation of recent rumors that the Jordanian-born terrorist leader of "al Qaeda in Iraq" was injured.

Meanwhile, statements posted by terror supporters on Web sites made it clear there could be confusion within the group itself — or perhaps even a leadership struggle — over Zarqawi's status.

One explanation for the chaos is that Zarqawi is already in U.S. custody, which would help explain why everyone seems certain that he is wounded and the seeming confusion among his followers about whether or not to appoint a successor.
