More Holes in the Official Story on Zarqawi's Death
Abu Musab Al Zarqawi's "safe house" was attacked by two Falcon F16 fighters. Two 500 lb laser-guided bombs were dropped on the site. The safe house was transformed into rubble. According to press reports, charred bodies had been removed from the rubble. Zarqawi's body, however, was virtually intact.

The bombs used in the attack are known for their destructive capabilities. The first bomb was a 500 lb. GBU-12 , guided to its target by a laser designator, with a circual probable error" of 8 meters. The second bomb was newer far more sophisticated precision weapon: the GBU-38 (Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), guided to its target by satellite signal. (AP, 8 June 2006)

"The Iraqi police who first arrived at the scene removed many charred bodies ... the bombardment even melted the iron beams of the roof and windows of the homes."


Among the victims, according to the first official report, were two women and a child. "How is it Zarqawi's body remains intact as if he died in his bed'? asked one resident.

5. The Pentagon admitted to photoshopping the picture of the corpse
"cleaning it up", was the expression. So maybe they photoshopped the whole thing.

6. Hey! It's like the "miraculous" finding of the 9/11 hijacker passport
such a fragile and rare bit of paper to actually turn up in the carnage...
