An abrasion on his cheek and a cut on his forehead and above his left eye. Is that ok then? Good.
So the question is, or rather, the question I am asking myself right now is: why am I even saying any of this? What's my point? Do I even have one? The main reason for this little trip down the memory hole is Julian Assange. You see, I hold him (and what's left of his Wikileaks shop front) responsible for the fact that I couldn't just stop at Adam Gadahn/Pearlman. You're probably aware that Wikileaks has released yet another armored truck-load of 'war logs', this time from Iraq, among which was the above tale of Zarqawi's fortuitous escape from the clutches of the British. In this most recent download, the mainstream media has, once again, been gifted with a plethora of 'logs' that allow them to do three main things:
1) Dig up and retell the officially fabricated history of Muslim terrorists and terrorism
2) Remind the world that Iran is really to blame for everything
3) Reveal selected isolated stories of complicity in torture and killing of civilians by US and British forces and thereby provide Wikileaks' bone fides as an honest anti-war organisation, despite the fact that much worse abuse had already been exposed long ago.
And so, I'm forced to try and set the record straight.
Number 1: has already been dealt with above:
