U.S. troops may have beaten wounded al-Zarqawi before he died

If there is anyone who deserves a beating...I mean...come on!

U.S. officials have altered their account of the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, saying he was alive and partly conscious after bombs destroyed his hideout, and an Iraqi witness has raised the possibility that the wounded "al-Qaida in Iraq" leader was beaten by American troops before he died.

This man was responsible for the deaths of how many fucking people? Are we really going to spin this one into a bad thing? Killing a leader of a terrorist organization can't be turned into scandal. Draw the line right there. They could have arrived at the bomb site, Zarqawi could have been playing a game of checkers and it would justifiable to shove a grenade up his ass.

The witness, who lived near the scene of the bombing, claimed in an interview with AP Television News to have seen U.S. soldiers beating an injured man resembling al-Zarqawi until blood flowed from the man's nose.

Oh whatever. Are we all in agreement that there are some Iraqis that love nothing more than to make the US look evil? Are we in agreement that some media outlets love the same thing? Zarqawi's dead. The man deserved worse than death. Case is closed.
