Of course, the media is trying to paint this as an Arab outrage, but why should they care if a murdering despot is shown in his draws? The man is probably responsible for more deaths than anyone in the Middle East, yet they're salty because he was "exposed"?
Here's the spin the media's trying to take on this issue:
There were fears that the publication Friday and Saturday of pictures showing the imprisoned Saddam, including one where he is clad only in his underwear, could further fuel anti-American sentiment.Give me a break. It was a British tabloid that published the pictures, not an American media organization. President Bush rightfully condemned the photos - not because Saddam was embarrassed, but it was a security leak. An investigation should be underway and the one who leaked those photos to the Sun should be punished.
The new pictures in Britain's The Sun included one of Saddam seen through barbed wire wearing a white Arab robe, and another of Ali Hassan al-Majid, better known as "Chemical Ali" for his alleged role in gassing Kurds, in a bathrobe and holding a towel.
Meanwhile, there are people trying to ironic and ridiculous claim that Saddam is a victim, by stating the conditions in the prison are poor. I'm sure they are tons better than the jails his victims were kept in. Hussein deserves far worse treatment than whatever he's subject to in those jails.
