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.

Absolutely wrong. Bin Ladin dead is worth a hell of a lot more than Bin Ladin alive. You kill Bin Ladin, show his corpse on CNN, and the US is officially winning the war on terror. The boogeyman is dead and the Lone Ranger killed him.
