I became very skeptical of the Zarqawi phenomenon when I heard on the news that he narrowly escaped capture by jumping out of a moving car and rolling down an overpass near a US checkpoint. Not to mention the dozens of reports of him being captured then released, injured, and killed. He's another all too convenient boogy man for the war on terror. I honestly don't know what to believe anymore. Maybe he's a real guy, maybe not, but I don't think it can be denied that his threat has been greatly inflated by the pentagon and media. The propaganda is just getting to be too much.
