To teejay: My picture is actually formatted correctly. So, if I changed the angle then my cat's head will be showing on an odd angle.
Plus, this thread ain't about MY photo...

I've mixed feelings on this issue. I could justify doing it in that these guys aren't so much enemy combantants as they are criminals. God KNOWS it will go well with the Iraqi people. I BETTER solution would be to turn over the bodies to the Iraqis for disposal.

FOX News will do it for them if they ask. FOX is owned by the same one who owns the NY Post, and they got in trouble for their hypocrisy on this issue just a few months ago. All they have to do, as someone said is turn the bodies over to Iraqi's and have cameras on the transaction. Al-Jazeera would do it too, I think.
Or we could bury them in shallow graves (with cheap markers, hopefully) and then ask news correspondents to keep an eye out on them, and report what happens to their graves.

Too late, the US government demonstrated their hypocrisy once again.
It was a violation of the Geneva convention and "morally reprehensible" for Iraqis to publicly display pictures of American soldiers killed in combat who invaded the country.
Now when the situation is reversed, the United States opts to publicly display images of the corpses of two of the leaders/soldiers of the Iraqi regime. Don't mind us. Do as we say, not as we do.
You want to see the up close, bloody, bruised, and blue pictures of Odai and Qusai? Here ya go.

It's not blatant hypocrisy by the United States. It's blatant hypcrisy by the media. The media are the ones that were outraged when Perl's decapitated body was shown. The US had nothing to do with it. The media were the ones that showed the captured US troops, not the government. You don't see the US gov. site displaying the bodies, just the media, as usual.

Do I understand correctly that it took 200 Americans 6 hours of intense fighting to kill 3 men and a boy? Or was if only 4 hours?
I only bring this up because of a news report I heard on a US media TV station (I don't remember which) where the reporter was going on about how this proves the professionalism and the efficiency of the US forces in Iraq.

All the news stations (MSNBC, etc.) had to do, to show they are better than FOX and have more credibility, is NOT show the pics. But they did. Just like Reborn.
Why put the link up to show the pics if it is so hypocritical?
BTW, I do not think they should have shown the pics. However, as all the Wag the Dog detractors have pointed out, they would not believe it until they saw the bodies. Now they can see the bodies and they complain that they should not be shown.
