Iraqiana According to CNN: Iraqi security forces caught the most wanted man in the country last year, but released him because they didn't know who he was, the Iraqi deputy minister of the interior said Thursday. . . . that wanted man being Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.  Juan Cole elaborates: Nic Roberts reported that Zarqawi had put on weight, grown a beard, removed a tattoo, and was using a Kurdish passport, making him unrecognizable to Iraqi security forces. Maybe they thought he was George Clooney. 9:59:48 AM    comment []
