It's possible Zarqawi was betrayed, stuff like that happens all the time, but I doubt it was for this reason.

It's also possible the search for Bin Laden was let up a long time ago, he's certainly useful to the current U.S. government. Sure there would be a jump in populatrity in the immediate aftermath if he was captured or killed, but in the long run I doubt much would change. Of course that statement's a little more inflamatory.
All the more reason to make that kind of deal. The US has scaled back on its afgan missions already. Just another excuse to get out of there.
