SV, Dog, have you seen any reports either following up on or refuting Jordan's claim that al-Masri was killed along with Zarqawi? I would think if there were any speculation at all that this could have occurred, then Caldwell would have held off naming al-Masri like this.
I have been looking for this confirmation and I would think that by now CENTCOM would have identified the bodies in the house.
I think we have to assume that he lived.
