HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE - Zarqawi's Final Atrocities by Richard Miniter

Warning! This article is not for the faint of heart. PJADAA, on the grounds of graphic descriptions of severed heads, the kind of stuff you'd expect to see in a ketchup-squirtfest of the Sixties.

While I'm at it, let's strike up the band for a slight revision to the third stanza of The Star-Spangled Banner:

And where is that man who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country would leave us no more?
His blood has wash'd out his foul footsteps' pollution!
No refuge can save
The hireling or slave
From the gloom of defeat, or the doom of the grave.
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
