First, the good news. Al Qaeda leader Zarqawi was killed yesterday when the U.S. bombed the building he was in. He was a prominent coordinator of terrorist attacks, many focused against the U.S.

Zarqawi was also behind the bombing of the United Nations building in Iraq, the destruction of the al-Askariyyah mosque in Samarra (which triggered a wave of sectarian violence), the wedding bombing in Amman, Jordan, as well as hundreds of other attacks on innocents that caused the deaths of thousands. Osama bin Laden called him a "prince of al Qaeda."

From http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/monacharen/2006/06/09/200504.html, just a few things this man has done. Interestingly, this article points out the negative view of the papers toward the progress of the war on terror when they were published before this news came out.

The bad news: The federal marriage amendment was rejected by the Senate.
