Yeah, "Dog Almost Bites Man" is a prevalent headline too. Also, please notice what the US Central Command's news release doesn't say: Zarqawi's name. From the article you cite:

A U.S. Central Command news release said “coalition forces” — the usual shorthand for Task Force 145 elements — were “searching for a wanted al-Qaida associate.” . . .

U.S. forces detained five other occupants, one of whom was wounded. One of the five was later confirmed as “the wanted al-Qaida terrorist for whom the troops were searching,” according to Central Command.

“The terrorist, whose name is currently being withheld, was involved in the planning and execution of improvised explosive device attacks and allegedly was associated with al-Qaida foreign fighter operations,” the command said. The other four suspects are being “assessed for knowledge of and involvement in terrorist activity,” the news release said. [emphsis mine]

Could it be that The Marine Times got an exclusive on the identity of the target? My goodness, one military organization speaking frankly to another about missing their intended target... imagine that.

If Zarqawi is captured or killed and the mainstream press don't report it, you have an ironclad right to complain. If the military press liason puts out a press release that has more name recognition than this one, ditto.
