CBS/AP) An Iraqi man who was one of the first people on the scene of the U.S. airstrike targeting Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said he saw American troops beating a man who had a beard like the al Qaeda leader.
The witness, who lives near the house where al-Zarqawi spent his last days, said he saw the man lying on the ground near an irrigation canal. He was badly wounded but still alive, the man told Associated Press Television News.
U.S. troops arriving on the scene wrapped the man's head in an Arab robe and began beating him, said the local man, who refused to give his name or show his face to the camera. His account could not be independently verified.

"And, of course, we here at CBS have wasted exactly no time - getting this absurd falsehood out to the people in America's 'eartland. I mean, it is what we do."
These mental midgets are desperately grasping for straws. Pathetic.
ROFL!
Well, I sure hope so.
I saw this story on another site that shall remain nameless. The useful idiots have totally accepted this bogus account as a fact since it fits with their concept that American troops are no better than jackbooted thugs.
Can't we just picture Perky Katie frothing at the mouth because she is between engagements and missed being on air for this.
I hope he was beaten before the bombing, during the bombing and after the bombing.
No. no, wait !!!!!!! I changed my mind!
I wish he had been captured alive, and had his head cut off with a dull knife while being video taped having it done!!!!!
Only the Bush-bashing/America-hating morons at SeeBS and the AP would ask such a moronic question. What a bunch of terrorist-loving ***holes.
I heard he said "Rosebud".
Word has it he attempted to egress the gurney....maybe sans a leg or two...but was politely encouraged to halt the egress.....HEHEHBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And why is the media repeating the statement of an identified person, whose veracity could not be independently verified?
Their only objective is to make the US troops look bad, and glorify the terrorists.
The MSM and the Dems are the best friends the terrorists can have.
"Iraq is like Vietnam, where U.S. forces never lose a battle on the ground, but where defeat can come at the hands of a loony left, a biased media and a shortsighted Congress. Whether it's an immediate withdrawal or one with a date certain, it would be a signal to the enemy to set their alarm clocks and wait us out till we cut and run."

Where is the Barf Alert?
I saw CBS/AP reporters beating children and raping their puppy dogs. My account cannot be independently verified either.
These guys make up the news as they go along.
Gosh, I hope so.
I sure hope so!! That POS deserved worse than he got...but then upon his death I'm sure he got the shock of his "life" when he realized he was sent straight to hell and that all he would be getting was 72 rotten raisins along with the tortures of hell for all eternity!!
It's unreal. I mean, it's not surprising, but it still sort of it, when you see the depths they sink to.
But DNCMSM ran with it anyway..
Now wait just a dang minute.. the DUmmies are saying that Z was never even real, the Bushers made him up to blame all the civillian deaths on him.
