I did not watch the video. Did Al-Zarqawi limp? He has only one leg

The missing pieces
February 1 2003

The US is to release intelligence which, it claims, links Iraq with terrorism. But will it sway the sceptics? Marian Wilkinson examines the evidence.

Al-Qaeda commander Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi needed treatment for a shattered leg that was injured, apparently, during the American bombing raids on Afghanistan. He slipped into Iraq in August and found his way into a Baghdad hospital. According to US intelligence reports, some days later he disappeared from the city, limping away on a prosthetic limb.

2. why would you believe anything anyone says about that video?

The truth disappeared a long time ago in this country.

4. It's Bullshit

The govmt quietly gave up on the al-Zarqawi amputation story a month or two ago, when it became a little too obvious he has two legs. (Was it Randi Rhodes who was on the warpath about that?)

8. Don, I Didn't Watch It Either. Just Couldn't Bring Myself to Do It.

And I'm glad I didn't.

Still, I respect those who did and who are analyzing it frame by frame.
