The US military in Iraq says a militant killed on Tuesday has been positively identified as the leader of al-Qaeda in the city of Mosul.
It said the man - identified by a pseudonym, Abu Khalaf - had co-ordinated and ordered many attacks.
He was shot dead by American troops during a raid on a building in Mosul.
US and Iraqi forces have been carrying out an offensive in the city for more than a month, in an attempt to drive out al-Qaeda in Iraq from Mosul.
The city, US and Iraqi officials say, is al-Qaeda's last urban stronghold in Iraq.

“He was shot dead by American troops during a raid on a building in Mosul.”
Shot dead?! It's an outrage. This noble freedom fighter should have been brought to the USA (for a trial, wink-wink), placed in a suite in Hilton or Marriott, given taxpayer-paid lawyers and granted TV interviews to explain the suffering he is enduring at hands of oppressors.

All right! Way to go, the first round is on me.

I am sure they read him his Miranda Rights. After all we would not want to piss off any liberals over this.
To bad the freedom fighter resisted. So sad. I will think of him as I imbibe in my adult beverage tonight, especially when I have to relieve myself. Good riddance to both, in the toilet and into hell.

Now we have to worry about this guy’s estate filing suit over violated civil rights. Obama would support that, and I’m pretty sure 4 justices on the SCOTUS would support it.

Tough being a number three or four in Al-Quaeda. Good work, troops, one less prisoner to have to worry about some idiot lawyer getting off to fight another day.

This should be front-page news across the USA.
"THE SENIOR AL-QAEDA LEADER IN THEIR LAST URBAN STRONGHOLD IN ALL OF IRAQ IS DEAD!"
What great news even if the MSM won't report it.

I am sure they read him his Miranda Rights. Gives a new meaning to 'the right to remain silent'
Perhaps we should start engraving ammunition with Miranda. Just to be safe.
