This would be a big hit to the insurgency in Iraq. I won't get my hopes up, but it would be nice to have the rat gone. Rest of the story is at the Washington PostFrom the AP:
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- U.S. forces sealed off a house in the northern city of Mosul where eight suspected al-Qaida members died in a gunfight _ some by their own hand to avoid capture. A U.S. official said Sunday that efforts were under way to determine if terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was among the dead....
In Washington, a U.S. official said the identities of the terror suspects killed was unknown. Asked if they could include al-Zarqawi, the official replied: "There are efforts under way to determine if he was killed ."But Trent Duffy, a White House spokesman, said reports of al-Zarqawi's death were "highly unlikely and not credible."
Update: This mornings (11/21) Washington Post article has an offical putting the possibility that Zarqawi was killed at 30%.

Good grief -- your entire page scrolls sideways.
I'm not feeling the love.
Not sure why it's doing that. I did pull a marquee tag out of a message, see if that helps.
Who the hell is Don Surber and why does he keep following me around the blogosphere this morning????
Mark, Don can be found at Donsurber.blogspot.com, and he runs the ecosystems #21 rated blog, based on hits and links.
Why he's following you, I'm not sure.
Junker, I'm with you, I hope they got him.
Al-Zarqawi is mostly a myth. He is blamed for attacks before the investigation has even begun. Your authorities understand that it's a lot easier in the public mind to be fighting figureheads than it is to fight disparate and unfocused forces. It's likely even that Al-Zarqawi is a composite. It's also in the other side's interests to big him up.
