PAYBACK KILLINGS: Zeyad offers a much less clinical view of the phenomenon that StrategyPage described a couple of days ago. He’s not very happy about what’s going on, to put it mildly.

Of course, Zeyad also illustrates, as he has in the past, that he’s better at reporting not just the good, but also the bad news than most of the professional reporters in Iraq.

UPDATE: A reader emails: “Zeyad is Sunni.”

True, and that’s got to color his views, but I’ve always found him to be an honest reporter and it’s not as if he’s been spouting the Ba’athist/Sunni line.
