Doesn't matter, he righteously dead. Bruce A bomb attack or Marines' fists killed Al Zarqawi? 6/21/2006 5:45:00 PM GMT http://www.aljazeera.com/cgi-bin/conspiracy_theory/fullstory.asp?id=327
Challenging what circulating news reports suggested about the death of the alleged Al Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, Tunisia's Hebdo quoted an eye witness as saying that the man wasn't killed in a U.S. bomb attack, but was beaten to death by American Marines. News headlines around the world, all hailing the death of the U.S. no. 1 enemy in Iraq, and the alleged representative of al-Qaeda there, all affirmed that Al Zarqawi was killed in a bomb blast targeting his safe house. The man, who was present at the scene of the U.S. attack, said that Al Zarqawi wasn't killed in the blast caused by the two 500-pound bombs the U.S. F-16 fighter jets dropped on the building, but was killed by U.S. soldiers who came searching for his body under the rubbles. The eyewitness suggested that Al Zarqawi was alive when the Marines found him under the collapsed building, injured and bleeding- challenging by that a statement by Army Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell, who told the Pentagon that after the police found Al Zarqawi alive, they placed him on a stretcher, but he died shortly from his wounds. "His face was very, very bloodied and we made a conscious decision that if we were going to take photographs of him and make them available publicly that we were going to clean him up," Caldwell said. "Despite the fact that this person actually had no regard for human life, we were not going to treat him in the same manner." Zarqawi wasn't carried on a stretcher, the eyewitness said, he tried to escape but the Marines caught him and showered him with punches at the rib-cage till he died in ten minutes. Why did the U.S. kill Al Zarqawi and sacrifice the "valuable" information it would have extracted from the man it dubbed as its "number one enemy in Iraq"? The American Defense Secretary's weak argument, made during a press conference following Al Zarqawi's death, is that the Army decided to carry out this operation out of fear he might "slip through their fingers". But analysts and political experts argue that killing Al Zarqawi benefited the Americans more than if he was kept alive. For if he was kept alive, it would be necessary to judge him, and may be put him on trial like the ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, which would cause troubles for the Bush Administration, already struggling to win its weaning support at home and worldwide over failure to handle Iraq war and launching it on a false premise. There are many lingering questions about Al Zarqawi's death, due to conflicting accounts of what happened. Was he killed Wednesday the 7th, at about 9:00pm, or was it several days before? Is it possible that he survived such a devastating attack even for a few moments? Analysts also suggest that the whole story was made up by the Bush Administration to declare to the world that it's not losing in Iraq especially that the midterm elections are drawing near.
