Al-Zarqawi's Family Renounces Him
Al-Zarqawi's family renounces him .
"A Jordanian doesn't stab himself with his own spear," said the statement by 57 members of the al-Khalayleh family, including al-Zarqawi's brother and cousin. "We sever links with him until doomsday."
The statement is a serious blow to al-Zarqawi, who no longer will enjoy the protection of his tribe and whose family members may seek to kill him.
This is part of what could be a very significant change in Jordan and in the Arab World. Al-Jazeera's website has not reported this yet, and has really downplayed the demonstrations against terrorism in Jordan.
If this turn against terrorism is permanent, terrorist friend Al Jazeera is a big loser.

William, William, what are we going to do with you?
First, you are aware that al-Zharqawi, the terrormaster, is not an Iraqi, he is a Jordanian.
Second, the rage his countrymen have displayed to him and to terrorism is a significant development. You can take any perspective you like on this development, but resorting to " Bush lies " slogans is not particularly helpful.
Terrorists can't live without a friendly waters to swim in. Zarqawi's ocean just got a lot smaller, a desirable side effect that resulted from a despicable deed.
That's what we're talking about here.
