Bomb Killed Al-Zarqawi

Sorry Media, no atrocity story here. The troops even tried to save his life, according to this:

Seeking to dispel allegations that al-Zarqawi was beaten or shot while in U.S. custody, Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said on Monday that an autopsy performed Saturday proved the Jordanian-born militant died of "massive internal injuries" that were consistent with a blast caused by the two 500-pound (227 kilo) bombs dropped on his hideout.
"A coalition medic treated Zarqawi while he did lapse in and out of consciousness," Caldwell said at a news conference in Baghdad. "The medic secured his airway, at which point Zarqawi expelled blood." He said the medic "noted the breathing was shallow and labored."


Well, you still have Haditha, at least until our Marines are exonerated.
