| A Laudable Death |
| 2006-06-11 |
| by Eliot Cohen, Wall Street Journal Few men have so richly deserved death as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. He met a swifter and cleaner end than what he meted out to Arabs and Americans alike; his violence included torture and beheadings, videotaped not only for purposes of propaganda, but, one suspects, out of a near pornographic pleasure in capturing human suffering on camera. As the head of one of the most important insurgent groups in Iraq, his demise is not only an occasion for pride in the prowess of American forces, and satisfaction at retribution dealt out, but a real blow to al Qaeda in Iraq. . . . |
