Apparently al-Zarqawi's "informant" blown up with him...

[neoblues]

Saved us the $20 million reward the guy was seeking as a consequence of his providing information...

But will any other terrorist informant dare inform again?

1. Any one got a list of all this reward money we have paid?

It was like Bush just dumped it out of OUR pockets in to some ones but we never know who

2. Some have wondered if this was an Al Queda hit using US military as weapon

The idea is that Zarqawi was getting to be a liability. What better way to get rid of the guy than to rat him out to U.S. Intelligence.

3. Just what I was thinking, too

Killing one bird with two stones, so to speak.
