You knew this was coming.

The man who lived near the bombing and came forward is probably upset he doesn't get a piece of the 25 million.

[LS]

Actually, next it will be "they tortured him."

[goldstategop]

Who cares? All I care is he's finally dead. Let the Drive By Media try to discredit a great victory.

(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")

[TheConservator]

Yes, our soldiers beat him around the head. That would account for the obvious bruising around the head shown on the picture of his corpse.

/sarcasm off

[MizSterious]

Even worse, they just told him Zarq's surviving followers won't be needing him as a replacement.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

MURDER! BLOODY MURDER!!!! WE MURDERED THE MURDERER!!! HOW CAN WE DO THAT? (with vigorous hand wringing)

I'm only surprised that it took this long for someone to crawl out of the woodwork and hurl a murder accusation at our Spec Op D-Boys!

[MNJohnnie]

No confirmation, hearsay report but of course the Junk Media reports it rather then laughing in this guy's face. How utterly loathsome and despicable the Failed Media has become.

[thoughtomator]

I saw at least a half-dozen FReepers predict exactly this claim, yesterday.

[Dr.Syn]

And I saw the Tooth Fairy last night!

[MJY1288]

I sure hope they got a chance to kick the shiite out of him before he assumed room temperature

[ghostrider]

This is war. He is dead. Screw this enemy witness, screw the Yahoo reporter, screw Yahoo and screw the camels they rode in on.

[CaptRon]

The Iraqi, identified as Mohammed Ahmed John Smith,

[Danae]

Ok, and so what if they did?

I doubt that highly, but so what if they did?

[bannie]

I don't care if the whipped him up into a devil's food cake and baked him.

He'a dead, and he should be dead.

[12th_Monkey]

So what if they beat is sorry a$$. Only the scum sucking democRATS and their liberal jack a** traders in Hollywood are going to care.
Far as I'm concerned they should have shoved a pork chop in his mouth and a frog up his butt.
I was wondering when someone would trot out another "abuse" story. I bet Murtha and Kerry will dance a jig when they hear this...

[jazusamo]

I wonder if Murtha has called a press conference on this yet to inform Americans and the world what "cold blooded killers" our soldiers are.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I don't care how the bastard died. As long as the job was done and he cannot hurt another human being ever again. I don't care if Lindy England came out and posed for a picture with him with his pants down.

[atomicpossum]

Absolute BS. If we captured Z alive, we wouldn't kill him and waste all that valuable intel and propaganda we could squeeze from him.

Round up this Ahmed dink as a probable terrorist.

[Bommer]

BEATEN TO DEATH???? EVEN BETTER!!!! Dress him up like a baby seal and break out the Special Forces Aluminum baseball bats, and batter up for some Allah ball! Only thing better would have been to chainsaw his head off!!!

[TN4Liberty]

I like this story. It adds even more the questions about credibility of other accusations against our servicemen by "neighbors and witnesses" with who make these outrageous accusations.

I would think that once you have dropped 2-500 lb bombs on someone, the need to drag them out and beat them with your fists to bloody their faces would be pretty slight.

[the Real fifi]

Well, get McGirk of Haditha in on this. Put all the special forces troops in the brig. Get Murtha to condemn them./s/

BTW did you notice the subtle bit of propaganda in the videos of the after-bombing. A neighborhood kid steps over the rubble and picks up a pristine teddy bear and holds it up to the camera.

And then the press attacks the DoD spokesman implying much the same as the fake Iraqi witness AP cites.
Sheesh
