CBS/AP) An Iraqi man who was one of the first people on the scene of the U.S. airstrike targeting Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said he saw American troops beating a man who had a beard like the al Qaeda leader.

The witness, who lives near the house where al-Zarqawi spent his last days, said he saw the man lying on the ground near an irrigation canal. He was badly wounded but still alive, the man told Associated Press Television News.

U.S. troops arriving on the scene wrapped the man's head in an Arab robe and began beating him, said the local man, who refused to give his name or show his face to the camera. His account could not be independently verified.

More BS from the drive-by media.

[Clara Lou]

You expected this, right? It's kind of like sunrise followed by sunset. Couldn't be any other way.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It was only a matter of time. Next, this will morph into torture. Then we are going to find out that the intel that led us to his safehouse was a result of torture. Just wait. Enemy sympathizers are working behind the scenes.

[zarf]

CBS beating off with more beating BS.

[decal]

Hmm, does the MSM really believe any American* is going to give a fetid dingo's kidney about this? They're even more out of it than I thought if they do.

*DUmmies, Kos Kidz, etc, don't count, as they're un-American by definition...

[Reactionary]

Ah, yes. Here we have another "news story" based upon an anonymous source.

What a load of crap.

Was Al-Zarqawi Beaten After Bombing?

I doubt it; but the image is a pleasant one.

[Rannug]

Who cares? I hope he is in hell being sodomized by pigs

[OldFriend]

I can only hope a big American hero was stepping on Z's neck till he drew his last breath.

But this story was concocted by Baghdad Bob.

[Salamander]

Whoa, dude.
Get outta my head!......;D

[Inkie]

I just don't give a crap. I hear that his family is demanding that his body be returned so it can be buried and worshipped for his martyrdom. I hope we cremate the remains and scatter them in a pig sty.

[Poser]

I sure hope he was beaten.

Now CBS


Looks like they all are jumping on board this one.



[If the JAG incarcerates the member of TF145 for their actions, the JAG should be closed and sent to Gitmo as prisoners themselves.]


MSM is sure trying to build a case to make Zark's death another Haditha type incident.

Was Al-Zarqawi Beaten After Bombing?

I sure hope so.

"the local man, who refused to give his name or show his face to the camera"

The MSM found another terrorists, or they just made it up themselves -- it wouldn't be the first time.

U.S. troops arriving on the scene wrapped the man's head in an Arab robe and began beating him, said the local man, who refused to give his name or show his face to the camera. His account could not be independently verified.

And yet he's credible enough for BS to run with the story. So much for independent verification of facts for the MSM.

[Salamander]

" he witnessed U.S. soldiers beating a man with a beard. "

Well, unless it was a *really* heavy beard, it shouldn't have hurt very much.


[who proofreads this crap??]

[atomicpossum]

Yeah. We capture ALIVE the head of al Qaeda in Iraq, seriously injured after a bombing, and we beat him to death instead of keep him alive to milk for info.

Geesh, the MSM really does think that US forces are baby-killing barbarians, and STUPID to boot.

[N. Theknow]

Unfortunately, Zarqawi put his shirt on backwards yesterday morning and before he could change it the bombs hit.

The arrival of the local Iraqis found him dazed but in good spirits until they turned his head around.

[taaminator]

Rumor has it:

Zarqawi awakened upon the stretcher. He looked to his right and saw the British Flag on the UK Special Air Services' uniforms. He looked to his left and saw the American Flag on the US Special Forces' uniforms.

Zarqawi then spoke his last words: "Not Hillarycare!"

Then he rolled off the stretcher -- away from the 'left' -- and died of his own free will.
