covering the zarqawi coverage

the national review online's media blog wraps-up initial media reaction-coverage of the death of zarqawi in a 'good, bad, and ugly' format. the WaPo and NYT go with unqualified stories [but i'm fully expecting the 'yeah, but...' pieces shortly] while reuters and BBC chip in with caveat full reports.

while reuters (dutifully) continued with a 'yeah, but...' story yesterday afternoon (found via the ldotters), the NYT pieces together a narrative of the zarqawi kill.
the nro's corner maintains media reports like this with too-descriptive (possibly identifying intelligence assets) while using anonymous sources conveying possibly sensitive info
