Even if true. would someone who survived two 500 pound bombs worry much about a few punches.

[Thebaddog]

Does Newsday have a journalism detector in the office? This story is awful thin.

[atomicpossum]

His account could not be independently verified.

But it fits the MSM template, so they run with it.

[harpu]

Oh, oh...jack murtha is not going to let this go unsensationalized!

[OldFriend]

LOLOL......gotta have those folks doing their best to show they weren't the ones who tipped off the coaltion.

I noticed the requisite teddy bear in the rubble. Similar to the teddy bear found in the rubble in Afghanistan a while back.

[kabar]

If true, glad to hear it.

[new yorker 77]

Newsday is run by anti-American pigs.

[listenhillary]

I'm sure they used a Koran to beat him with also. (/sarcasm)

[bilhosty]

Maggot slime liar Media (MSM). They print a story with one non credible source. But, they had 125 Swift Boat veterans and would not print there version of Kerry's Vietnam record because they were not credible. Stinking rotten lieing MSM.

[new yorker 77]

Can't be verified.

Therefore, make it a headline to ruin a great story.

These libs urinate and defecate on our troops.

The MSM only finds value in DEAD troops or troop 'SCREW UPS'. THE DEAD FAILURE REPORT.

[Gorzaloon]

If true, glad to hear it.

I hope they urinated on him while he was concious enough to realize it.

Wouldn't it break the traitor MSM's hearts to know that sometimes people cheer at the worst things they can make up?

[I_Like_Spam]

The story shows the strategy of the islamofascists, repeated claims of 'atrocities', every time they take a hit.

The Haditha saga is now merging with that of Zarqawi's death. Its interesting how its all fusing together, and how history is repeating, with the Goebbelesque strategy of propaganda being used by enemy.

[Ken522]

MSM template - "Fake but Accurate!"

[Swanks]

A great campaign issue for the Dems. Vote for us, Murtha becomes majority leader. He'll hold hearings into the beating of a KOS, DU hero.

[theDentist]

A likely lie... but on behalf of the Berg boy, and the others who were kidnapped, beaten, and beheaded, I hope it's true.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[Allegra]

Let's not be too hard on Newsday during their time of grief.

They're in mourning for their beloved Zarqawi. They are quite bereaved right now.

{snicker!}

[AmericaUnite]

What a crock.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

This is really poor journalism!

Leaving out really needed details...WHAT WAS THE COLOR OF THE "ARAB ROBE" ?

Yeesh. This MSM media just can not get the important stuff straight.
