21, June 2006 Letter to Newsweek RE: Zarqawi

I am appalled by your coverage of the assassination of Zarqawi. You chose to omit the obvious fact this low level thug did not exist before we chose to unleash a war of terror on the hapless Iraqis. All Americans, with the possible exception of the brain dead 29% of Bush supporters, are convinced that we attacked Iraq without any provocation and are the unlawful occupiers of that country. You continue to offer Bush political cover instead of holding him accountable for his disastrous foreign policy debacles. You choose not to print graphic photographs of the dead and wounded – both Iraqis and American soldiers. Even the coffins of our fallen heroes are withheld from the US public. Yet, you do not hesitate to publish graphic photographs of Zarqawi. You claim that Zarqawi was killed by the 2-500 pound bombs. This fact was largely challenged by the international press which reported that Zarqawi survived the aerial attacks but was ‘kicked to death’ by US soldiers.
