Bountiful heaven, Zarqawi's death wasn't instantaneous. He was alive and conscious with a big owie:
Terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was still alive when Iraqi police arrived at a site that was bombed by U.S. forces, a top-level spokesman for American military forces said Friday.Major Gen. Bill Caldwell, briefing military reporters at the Pentagon from his post in Baghdad, said he learned that al-Zawqari was alive after getting briefings on the military operation that netted al-Zarqawi and several others.
"He mumbled something but it was indistinguishable and it was very short," Caldwell said.
What do you think he said?

I also read that when he saw he was being bagged by coalition forces he rolled off the gurney trying to escape.

I am so surprised by the restraint and discipline
of the guys who have 'laid hands' on Sattum, and now Al "the knife" . I promise you..I would have bashed his head in. Piece of crap...there was nothing about public decapitation of even weird
civilians that gave this guy the right to draw breath.
It may have cost me my world, and possibly spend my days in prison..and seriously, Sattum also would have been fragola in a heartbeat.
