Did anyone run with story that Jordan's King said that he told Saddam exactly where Zarqawi was and to turn him over and yet Saddam did nothing?

No, I don't find that they have. However I do see that that story came from the very same avenue that this one does. And starts out in about the same fashion.

Jordan king: Iraq refused to deport Zarqawi

By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL

Published May 19, 2005

BEIRUT, Lebanon -- Jordan's King Abdullah revealed Thursday that Iraq's former Baath regime had refused to deport Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, blamed for ongoing terrorism in Iraq.

Speaking in an interview with Saudi daily al-Hayat, Abdullah said Zarqawi, a Jordanian, is well entrenched in Iraq and that "he and terrorists like him thrive in such places where security and stability are non-existent."

I would think that King Abdullah would have revealed that info way before now if he was going to reveal it at all.

Why would you think King Abdullah would have released that info long ago, it is not like that info mattered at all to him. I honestly don't think King Abdullah would have cared if Kerry had won, mostly because the president has been giving Abdullah alot of flack trying to get him to reform democratically. I don't think Abdullah would have released that info earlier, because I don't think he cared if the president was re-elected or not.
