Saddam caught with his pants down

What do you think of these pictures? Are we in some way depicting torture on Saddam? Is this a violation of the Geneva Convention?

Is there any comparison to the Newsweek story or Abu Garib?

Should we expect riots in the streets of Iraq?

I think it's much ado about nothing. Anyone who equates the publication of this picture with actual "torture" doesn't know the meaning of the word. A British publication published the photo, not the US military who is holding him. No, it's not a Geneva convention violation.

No comparison whatsoever.

If there are riots, then we can assume the rioters are Saddam's supporters. I recommend the Iraqi government film the heck out of the riots to identify Saddam's supporters -- it'll come in handy down the road.

I agree completetly with the paper's opinon (free press & stuff): link

Dudman, The Sun's managing editor, defended the decision to print the pictures.

"They are a fantastic, iconic set of news pictures that I defy any newspaper, magazine, or television station who were presented with them not to have published," he said. "He's not been mistreated. He's washing his trousers. This is the modern-day Adolf Hitler. Please don't ask us to feel sorry for him."
