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.

It might be progaganda, but it will raise our military in even higher esteem if they beat the sh*t out of him.

My sources said they were smoking cigarettes, and uttering racial epitaths while commiting these hate crimes! While wearing Nazi armbands on their uniforms!

Hey! I saw the same thing! I too saw it! And I can verify both of you were there. Now we have three people reporting the same exact thing.

I hear that his family is demanding that his body be returned so it can be buried and worshipped for his martyrdom. Feed the body to a herd of starving hogs.

Let the MSM make a big deal out of this. Maybe some of the brain dead sheeple amongest us will finally realize the American media is anti-Aemerican once and for all.

You know its hard when you're fighting jihadists all day and night to get proper exercise. I am happy that our troops got the opportunity for an aerobic workout. Perhaps they extend these workouts to the driveby media.

I can only hope they beat him, in fact, I hope they put reeds under his fingernails before he died.
Rot in hell Al-Zarqawi !

In this thread earlier from Yahoo, it had the old version...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1646849/posts
I debunk it in the thread.
Now hit the link for Yahoo on the thread and see what you get. Then google the title from the thread... nada.
This is where the same link takes you now:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060610/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_al_zarqawi
Patrick Quinn AP is lower than dirt. I wrote an email to the editor at Newsday and other papers that are a party to this. We all know the AP is accountable to no one.
I think the reason this one didn't get changed was the title. (Why is it different anyway... oh, CBS).
