Zarqawi wasn't in Al Qaeda until Feb 2004 when he applied for financial help from Bin Laden.

Senate Intelligence Report of July 2004 doesn't agree with you.

They say:
"A variety of reporting indicates that senior Al-Qaida terrorist planner Al-Zarqawi was in Baghdad between May-July 2002 under an assumed identity".
p. 334

Also, on p. 337
"A foreign government service asserted that the IIS (Iraqi Security Service) knew where Zarqawi was located despite Baghdad's claims that it could not find him". Followed by a long redaction. Then this "...now working closely with Al-Qaida, were also in Baghdad during the summer of 2002. The CIA also provided the committee with a finished analytic product..., which discussed their support of al-Zarqawi's network from Baghdad during that summer.

Also on p. 338 Intelligence reports established that Zarqawi was in Baghdad in 2003 and 2003.

Also pertinent to our discussion,
"Baghdad probably has a window into Al-Qaida activities....(redacted) ... was identified as an IIS (Iraqi Intelligence Service) by detainees."

p. 336
