THE BITER, BIT:

BAGHDAD, Iraq — A group of armed, masked Iraqi men threatened Tuesday to kill Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi if he did not immediately leave the country, accusing him of murdering innocent Iraqis and defiling the Muslim religion.

Heh. Spencer Ackerman comments: “Normally I’m against militias. For Zarqawi, I’m happy to make an exception.”
