Zarqawi as American Agent?

That appears to be the theory Hesiod at CounterSpin is putting forward, nothing that in the most recent version of the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Terrorist list, Zarqawi does not appear, even though the CIA and FBI both insisted he was part of Nick Berg's beheading sometime in late April/early May. They also tried to link him to the head of the head of the IGC only to be disproven.

Writes Hesiod:

That would explain his "letter" to Bin Laden offering an alliance, and complaining about how successful the U.S. was in Iraq.

It would explain why his terrorist camp wasn't bombed before the Iraq war.

It would explain why his name was grafted onto the Nick Berg video, and why other people unaffiliated with Al Qaeda were arrested for the crime. (How did they even know who these people were?)

It explains why, despite his being terrorist bogeyman number one right now, he's not listed on the most wanted list. And it cannot be because he's dead. They still list Mohammed Atef, even though he was supposedly killed in Afghanistan.

I may be crazy, but this smells.
