U.S. Special Forces said to have got him ... possible airstrike ... maybe a bomb blast ... Baghdad ... hmm ... back later, if anything solid develops ... which is a matter of when, not if ..."I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll die defending your right to say it." — Voltaire

It would be humiliating if they killed only a "look-alike" ... but the odds are stacked against that, I think, what with what's moving over the raw news wires and, of course, on CNN, et al.

Iraqi PM confirms Zarqawi death
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has announced that militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed.
The Jordanian-born leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq is considered the figurehead of the Sunni insurgency. Reports say he was killed in an air raid near Baghdad.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq has been blamed for scores of bombings that have killed hundreds of Shias and US forces.
Zarqawi appeared in a video earlier this year, in which he reproached the US for its "arrogance and insolence".
The BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad says that if the reports are proved to be true it will be seen as a very significant moment in the fight against the insurgency, especially as it comes early in the life of Mr Maliki's government.
