They announced that we used a mole to get him on the news.

Does that mean:

A. someone oughta be court-martialed

B. we are trying to spook them

C. we are trying to divert them

D. both B and C

E. other

Does it also mean that we have already extracted "agent x"? Or are in the process of doing so? Or is the added danger to agent x considered a price payable, for the advantage of spooking them?

Concrete details will probably be released at some point -- I'm pretty certain somebody is already hard at work on a book or books on how Zarqawi got eliminated. At present it's a bit murky.

There is a long artical on Zarqawiin a June issue of the New Yorker. In it is the vaguest hint that Bin Laden or Zawhiri (sp?) became very concerned about Zarqawi's methods, his organization, and his general ideas and organized a breach in his security. This of course sounds fantastic, but I've learned in recent years real world politics can be much more fantastic than any fiction. It may have been done without a specific "mole" or agent. Looking over the published & unpublished intel gathering methods of several US combat battalions in Iraq I see descriptiions of how these units nailed local leaders. Methodically colloecting, organizing and analyzing thousands of bits gathered from the 'streets' the intel sections were able to make a 'picture' of their aea. This enhanced greatly the other intel sources such as their recon platoon/survelliance posts, air imagery, and electronic survelliance. Without a actual inside agent these methods allowed their targets to be identified & struck. Magnifiy this method to the level of the Coalition command and it is possible Zarqawi was located without the need for a overt traitor or mole.
