Better off dead

So United States forces dropped two 500-pound bombs on a Iraqi house in which insurgent leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was staying. Then it was reported that an Iraqi man saw US soldiers beating al-Zarqawi shortly after he was pulled -- alive -- from the rubble.

U.S. General George Casey said that claim was "baloney." Casey went on to say that al-Zarqawi "died while American soldiers were attempting to save his life."

I find it interesting that the U.S. would drop two bombs on the man's hideout and then try to resuscitate him.

And now because of the bad press regarding the alleged beating, the US has flown in two military forensic specialists to determine how al-Zarqawi died.

Does it really matter? The United Sates government wanted this man dead and they killed him one way or another.

Seems as though the U.S. government has learned from Saddam Hussein that these unsavory characters are move valuable dead than alive.
