During the summer of 2002, he underwent nasal surgery at a Baghdad hospital, officials say. They mistakenly originally thought, however, that Zarqawi had his leg amputated due to an injury.
In late 2002, officials say, Zarqawi began establishing sleeper cells in Baghdad and acquiring weapons from Iraqi intelligence officials.

He was known as the "one-legged terrorist" because U.S. intelligence indicated he received medical treatment and was fitted with an artificial leg in Baghdad in 2002, after fleeing Afghanistan.

However, the view now is that al-Zarqawi has both legs, even though he is still believed to have traveled to Iraq for treatment for his leg or another injury, a U.S. intelligence official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

7. Did they write tort reform into the provisional Iraqi constitution?

Sounds almost like one of those "news of the weird" medical mixups stories.

3. NOSE JOB, that is the perfect cover up

Now when they drag some poor schlub in front of the cameras who looks nothing like al-Zarqawi used to look, they will say it was because of the NOSE JOB. :7
