Keeps gettin better and better; Zarqawi mistakenly released in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi security forces caught the most wanted man in the country last year, but released him because they didn't know who he was, the Iraqi deputy minister of interior said Thursday.

Hussain Kamal confirmed that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- the al Qaeda in Iraq leader who has a $25 million bounty on his head -- was in custody at some point last year, but he wouldn't provide further details.

A U.S. official couldn't confirm the report, but said he wouldn't dismiss it.

"It is plausible," he said.

6. They have caught many software terrorist pirates though.

If they spent half the time searching for these supposed terrorists, as they did trying to catch teenagers and retired folks pirating movies off the internet, the war on terror would be over by now.
