...and who might collect the famed and infamy spiking $25 million bounty on Zarqawi? Probably no one. Well then, and all things considered, that was a pretty darn good run for the cheap buck we got out of ol' Zarqawi's opprobrium.
But we are left wondering - knowing where Zarqawi was holed up, wouldn't he have been worth an attempt at live capture given all the goodies this guy was privy to and the vast and devastating power of the network under his influence? Two 500 pounds bombs do seem like a rather odd way to open a Christmas present with eager and dexterous hands in the immediate vicinity. But then again, perhaps Zarqawi wasn't all that fit anymore for live capture.
Our ludicrous conjecture is of course that the pyrotechnical Zarqawi hit is yet another Jessica Lynchy theatric. As such it was as slickly produced as it proved the utility of a Zarqawi, all the way to his Hollywoodish demise de villain.
