Zarqawi: Lingering questions

Gary Buell's Covert History is asking some sensible questions about the death of Zarqawi:
One wonders why the decision was made not to try to take Zarqawi alive. Apparently U.S. military forces had him surrounded. Surely Zarqawi as a humiliated captive would have been preferable to Zaraqawi as a martyr. Also he would obviously have been a high-value subject for interrogation.
Buell quotes Iraqi commentator Dhafer Al-Ani:
"Who financed his activities and secured the money, the weapons and the recruits; who provided him with protection and what role did those forces that are said to have penetrated his ranks play in pushing him to carry out the atrocities he did or to undermine the Iraqi nationalist resistance?"...

"Perhaps the greatest mystery about Zarqawi was the fact that the bulk of his victims were Iraqis, not Americans... None of these questions are likely to be investigated by the Americans nor the Iraqi government. It is such a strange coincidence that his agenda to divide Iraq has been similar to that of the invaders."

thanks so much for this link, joe. there is no doubt in my mind this was a show, one that was likely planned a long time ago, especially given the wapo article from this spring exposing the psyops surrounding z's 'existence'.

how can we expose these things???
