the media strikes again with more anonymous sources....disclosing intel....the whole shooting match...
BAGHDAD, Iraq -" 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-Qaida 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."
"
i repeat...."""His account could not be independently verified.""" :SIB
*sniff*....i smell john murtha coming.....he's gonna be all over this on the sunday morning talk shows. ...
not that it would surprise me if an iraqi cop or american soldier who's kid or buddy was killed by a suicide bomber decided a short blanket party was in order...
i would have suggested life-prolonging technologies just to keep the pain going....but, hey,that's just me and i'm an infidel.....
now we`re hearing that an abc blog published the name of the captured zarqawi aide that spilled the beans....
that`s nice..giving away more sources of intelligence...
since the good guys can`t coerce information with anything more persuasive than ice cream or stern language, all they can could have offered is "if you tell us, we won't publish your name and photo globally, ensuring that you, your family, and your friends meet a horrible death" ....
i`m not sure whether this was disclosed elsewhere...but,i do know that abc news wouldn't give a flying falafel whether reporting this would hurt our side or not.....
