Was a Wounded al-Zarqawi Beaten by U.S. Troops?
by John Little on 11/06/2006Of course not. Captain Ed shows the AP what a real beating looks like:
The logistics of the site appear determinative that the residents of the village could not have seen any of what transpired at the safe house. The sequence of events show that the US had timed their raid for maximum security and efficiency, and that the ground forces of Iraqi and American troops would have acted immediately to secure this very remote site to ensure no one escaped. The AP apparently didn’t read the Reuters description of the attack site before publishing this uncorroborated account of a supposed atrocity.
Is the AP now in the business of reporting anything anyone says about any event without doing some rudimentary investigation first? We call that gossip, not news, and we expect better than a National Enquirer standard at the AP.
Right. But who really cares about what happened anyway? If you’re really that concerned about this monster’s last few minutes of life you probably haven’t watched his work. Spend an hour with his beheading videos and then get back to me. If you’re still blathering on about mistreatment after that you are either grossly naive or you have a political axe to grind.
