Now the U.S. is claiming that Zarqawi was alive [1] for a little bit after being pulled from the rubble. Enough time to mumble some last words, etc.
The only reason whatsoever to bring this up is so that Bush warmongers can slap each other on the back that they made him suffer a bunch before dying. Retribution rules, dude!
Sickos.
And as I said before, so it begins [2]. Over the next few weeks Zarqawi's cell will splinter around who gets to be his successor. All the old rivalries and friction will come out. Now instead of facing one lunatic, we'll be facing three or four of them [3] -- each trying to outdo the other in order to prove their merit. Go You-Ess-Ay!
I really hate to be so cynical, but that's what happens when you have no faith whatsover in your government to understand this war.

What to do with the corpse?
From media blogger Ron Franscell @http://underthenews.blogspot.com
Today, a plaque was placed at the site of Hitler's Berlin bunker -- and his death -- by German historians. Some people complained that neo-Nazis might now use the site as a shrine to one of the great criminals of all times. More than 60 years later, we worry about Hitler's symbolism.
Ironically, today we also hold the corpse of Musab al-Zarqawi. Presuming we will not desecrate him any further than dropping two 500-pound bombs on him, how does one dispose of the body of terrorism's great symbols? If you give him back to his people his symbolism will transcend his mortal coil. If you toss him in a dumpster, it doesn't say much about who we are.
What should be done with a monster's corpse?
