Zarqawi Is About To Be Captured, For the Eighty-Bazillionth Time

I'm hopeful, but obviously we've heard this song before, and it doesn't get better with repeated listenings.

That said:

Iraqi security forces have surrounded Iraq's most-wanted terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the country's interior minister announced. We have not arrested al-Zarqawi, Interior Minister Falah al-Nakib said during a news conference. He is surrounded in a certain area, and we hope for the best. This operation is ongoing.

The lack of quotation marks is from the original, which doesn't inspire confidence either. If you can't capture a direct quote in quote marks, how ya gonna capture al-Zarqawi?

Still. There it is.
