Winners

 Human intel: Nabbed the most wanted man in Iraq.

WorldCuplogoGermany: May not get a huge economic bump from the Cup, but at least they won their first match.

Maliki: Sure, his cabinet is complete and Zarqawi is gone. But will he take the opportunity and run with it?

Diplomacy: Iran is given "weeks, not months" to consider the incentives offered. Still better than the drum beat of war.

Losers

NYpostZarqawi: Whether he was a master terrorist or a marginalized wanna-be, this is his last appearance on the Winners & Losers.

Journalistic restraint: Was the text bubble really necessary?

Civility at the UN: Apparently, one shouldn't cross John Bolton.

China's environment: Government white paper says pollution could cost the country 10 percent of its GDP.
