It continues to strike us as odd that the MSM appear to have excessive interest in the minutest detail of Zarqawi’s death (consider this AP headline: “Al-Zarqawi lived for 52 mins. after strike”) but show absolutely no interest in the women and child who were killed with him. This via Reuters:

“This (his death) was approximately 24 minutes after the coalition forces arrived and approximately 52 minutes after the first strike on the safehouse,” Major General William Caldwell, chief U.S. military spokesman, told a news conference….Caldwell said the fate of the body would be discussed with Iraq’s government. He said the bodies of three women killed in the air strikes were taken to a local hospital.

Contrast this with the “Haditha Massacre,” where there is absolutely no interest whatsoever in the enemy who killed and were actively trying to kill US Marines, and total obsessive interest in women and children.
