Not Zarqawi, but closer - “Iraq forces arrest top al-Qaeda lieutenant”: “Iraqi security forces have arrested the "most lethal" top lieutenant of al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq — a man allegedly behind 75% of the car bombings in Baghdad since the U.S.-led invasion, the prime minister's office said Monday.”

Jonah Goldberg thinks that either the Bush inaugural or the pending Iraqi elections taunted Zarqawi to declare that he’s firmly on the side against freedom and democracy. Jonah calls it the “best news of the weekend” although I would have preferred Zarqawi’s capture. Soon enough.
