Zarqowi? Zar-Blowie!
Mood:
a-ok
Topic: Death Score
American Forces moved quickly on intelligence that Al Qaeda #2 Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was huddling with clerics. One bunker buster later, al-Zarqawi was dead.
Many around the world rejoiced in his death as a symbol that terrorists do indeed face justice. Few rejoiced more than Mortfolio's own Gary H.
Gary took a huge risk with Abu in the 1.9 Confidence kicker, based on young age (39) and also what I would say could be a difficulty in verifying his death. Here are the digits:
(125-39) *1.9 = 164 + 25pts unique bonus = a record 189 POINTS for a single death!
There exists much confusion in regards to Mark M's entry of Ayman al-Zawahiri. That is a different dude. Wikipedia wins again. Mark gets nothing and likes it.
PS - There is a last terrorist bonus of 20 points that cannot be awarded until the terminus of the contest. Stay tuned if Gary H can go over 200 points with this pick alone!
