ZARQAWI'S END: He liked to cut off the heads of his screaming victims while the video tape rolled. He sent suicide bombers out to murder Iraqi students applying for jobs and women shopping for their families' dinners.
He attempted to spark a civil war between Iraqi Muslims. He arranged for the murder of an American diplomat in Jordan -- before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, when he was living in Iraq, under an arrangement with Saddam Hussein.
He was a foreigner in Iraq. Nevertheless, in much of the mainstream media he was respectfully described as "Iraq's most prominent insurgent leader."
