encounter they have is an ambulance driven by some iraqi police. and they have zarqawi's body in the back. >> i believe they knew who he was. i believe that they were taking him somewhere that americans wouldn't get him, but i can't prove that. the iraqi police said okay, we got him. our force said nope, we him. there was a moment where guns were drawn and the iraqis backed down. >> five more minutes, they would have got him and we never would have known. we tried to save his life. he was so imploded from the explosion that he was dead. >> we subsequently brought his body down to our headquarters and they lay him on a poncho. >> myself and stan stood over the top of him and we just sort of looked at each other. nobody is cheering over dead bodies.
