My favourite sentence is: "The US said the photos appeared to breach Geneva Convention rules on the humane treatment of prisoners of war." Giggle.

I know, white M&S pants. Couldn't they find a nice pair of boxer shorts with Dubya's face on them for him to wear.

cant say i really care. i think he probably had far more humiliating things done to his victims than take a piccy in his undies - so why should i feel pity?

[Dakkon]

Just put a bullet in him, end of, why keep him alive?

[Jinx]

Totally unnecessary IMHO. Humiliating the beaten foe is not the way to broker a lasting peace (1919 Treaty of Versailles anyone).

"The Sun cited US military sources saying they handed over the pictures showing Saddam as "an ageing and humble old man" in the hope of dealing a blow to the resistance in Iraq. It's important that the people of Iraq see him like that to destroy the myth," the paper said the source said."

So they did it to aid the stability of the region. That's very noble of them, many newspapers would publish them simply to increase the sale of newspapers. Once again, The Sun proves to be a bastian of morality, thinking only of the well-being of others.

Too late, should have done that when they found him - grenade in the hole. Now we would be no better than Saddam if we did this.

[Suckmychrsitmas]

It'll probably tick off the insurgents as well when they see this picture. (So essentially it's just throwing more fuel on the fire.)

Compared to a lot of what the Americans have done this is tame.

I cannot begin to describe my utter contempt for this sort of irresponsible shit stirring.

I really wish something could be done to prevent the tabloids publishing this kind of thing but I suppose any form of censorship would be far far worse

for once, i'm gonna agree with LA...

for relativists this would roughly translate to:
"treat others as you would like be treated yourself"

and for absolutely moralists:
"he who casts the first stone..."

Because they've got to give him a fair trial before they execute him.

Me Too!,

Dishes best served cold... We should afford the evil b;strd every legislated human right, treat him with civility and respect at all times. Do the right thing by him. Then do the 'other' right thing, and let the Iraqis hang him.
