..... Zarqawi's corpse looked relatively undamaged. I wonder if he was
in a spider hole?

Have you seen his corpse? The only photos I've seen showed only his head.

Those are the only photos I've seen, but, apparently, he survived the
blast, and was semi-conscious when the authorities arrived. Pretty
amazing when considering the rubble.

And considering the size and impact of the blasts. The military video
showing on the web is impressive but not very clear. I fisrt thought that
the safe house was surrounded by numerous other houses or buildings, many of
which appeared to be severely impacted by the blast. But that is not at all
the case. The safe house is (was) remote, out along a road in an area that
appears to be orchard or managed forest of some sort. You can see it on
Google Earth at N33 48 03 E44 30 48. The military video is a view looking
southward.

I can't figure out why they have brought whats left of him to the U.S.
to perform an autopsy on whats left of him.

Why bring him here?

sort of ironic, that it would rimind me of Clint Eastwoods' "Outlaw
Josey Wales" movie wright after he shot the bounty hunter idiots. and
the guy says.
"Well...arn't we going to buy them"?

Eastwood says.....

"Hell with those two! Buzzards gotta eat...same as worms!"

I don't think they did that. What's your source?

He'll be autopsied over there.

"With rumors circulating in the Iraqi news media that Mr. Zarqawi had begun
to run from the house as the first bomb struck, American officials said
Saturday that two military pathologists had arrived in Iraq to perform an
autopsy on his body to determine the precise cause of his death.

The results from the autopsy, and Mr. Zarqawi's precise location at the
time of the airstrike, will be disclosed soon, an American military
official said. American officials said he had suffered no gunshot wounds,
trying to dispel suggestions that someone had delivered a coup de grâce at
the scene."

Now, what's the weather like. Are you going out today? Here, Chesapeake
Bay, NOAA is saying winds 10 - 15 kts, waves to one foot. Sounds good,
except that I have to go to a graduation party for a niece. Damn!

Why dispel those rumors at all?
I'd let them all think we stuffed a pork sausage up his ass and then took
his head off with a rusty knife.
In fact, he was alive long enough after we had him to do just that... pity
someone didn't.

Don't regret going to the party, John.

Only one party for the niece. Other weekends for the boat

I did hear that DNA samples had been taken, and these samples were
transported back to FBI or military labs in the US for analysis, but I
belive pathologists were sent to Iraq to perform an autopsy there.

That's probably it...

Thanks!
