Good news for a change?

Can Drudge's report of the Zarqawi capture (already posted by Dennis) be true? If it's true, it's the best news in the war in Iraq, and the second best news in the war on terror, short of the capture of bin Laden.

Since I saw the report, Drudge has added a cryptical comment,

PENTAGON NOT COMMENTING ON MID-EAST PRESS REPORTS... DEVELOPING.
Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Now they're denying it:

U.S. military and intelligence sources are denying print and broadcast reports that terrorist Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi has been arrested in Iraq, MSNBC reported Tuesday.

MSNBC said senior U.S. military and intelligence sources told it the reports are not true. A newspaper in the United Arab Emirates, al-Bayane, reported in its Tuesday edition that the Jordanian-born terrorist had been arrested in Baqouba, Iraq. Iraqi Kurdistan radio also reported the arrest of al-Zarqawi.

Damn! The killing or capture of that guy is the single most important thing which needs to happen, and since there's not a damned thing I can do about it, I'll go back to shutting up.

Remember -- if we had him in custody, the last thing we would want is word getting out that he is in our hands before we had a chance to wring every piece of intel we could out of him and run down every single lead.

If we have him in custody, you'll know by the massive arrests being carried out in the next couple of days.

Yeah...we might also want to keep his custody underwraps least Ramsey Clark start beating down the courtroom doors demanding to represent him against the illegitmate Iraqi government and the criminal American Imperialists.
