Zarqawi wasn’t beaten, autopsy confirms
The autopsy results are in; no beating responsible for Zarqawi’s death. Awww. I’ll be the moonbats are going to be very disappointed upon hearing this one.
“These autopsies were performed to make a definitive determination as to the cause of both Zarqawi’s and Rahman’s deaths,” Caldwell said. “The scientific facts provide irrefutable evidence” that “will serve to counter speculation, misinformation and propaganda.”
Tip o’ me tam to Stop the ACLU
Oh but the conspiracy theories will still be out there, I can’t wait to hear what they cook up on this one.
According to Hot Air, the leftist complaining complete with descriptions of his beating is already out there.
Just to show you how hard truth is to come by in Iraq, compare this account of the “beating” in yesterday’s Times of London to today’s report in the New York Times.
Once the soldiers had established the man was not a threat, they started to kick him in the chest, said [Ali] Abbas and an Iraqi policeman also there. “They kept kicking him, shouting, ‘What’s your name?’, but the man only moaned and said nothing,” said Abbas.
Another person who identified himself as a witness to Mr. Zarqawi’s final moments, interviewed Sunday on Al Jazeera satellite network, made no mention of soldiers striking the man and suggested that American soldiers tore open his clothing in what appeared an effort to revive him.
“The Americans came afterward, they took him out of the ambulance, put him on the ground, and ripped his dishdasha,” the witness, Ali Abbas, said in the interview on Al Jazeera. “They were pressing on his chest, wanting him to speak or to respond, and they brought a bottle of water but he didn’t take it.”

I wonder if Jimmy Carter has requested permission to attend Zarqawi’s funeral in order to pay his respects?
