Oh

Now they’re apologizing for showing Zarqawi’s head, explaining it was so they could prove he was dead. They explained that they’d cleaned it up and brushed off the debris so it wouldn’t be shown in a ‘dehumanizing’ fashion; with no disrespect to the body. So, of course, al-Jazeera’s jumped all over the pristine, basically woundless face as proof maybe he was only mostly dead.

   No, no Dave E – you need to do that with the full name:
   Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat As Qudwa al-Hussaeini (aka Yasser Arafat) is still dead.

   “As Qudwa al-Hussaeini”
   What, was he in a movie or something? Who is this Qudwa al-Hussaeini? Wait, don’t tell me, I’m just glad he’s still dead.
